BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE FOR 10/18/26 |
|
|
This week on BBS we
feature an hour’s worth of sides by Bluesman Shakey Jake Harris. Jake was
born in 1921 in Earle Arkansas, moved to Chicago at the age of seven. He was
a musician, a professional gambler – and a part-time auto mechanic when the
dice and cards weren’t falling his way. I see the folks at the Jasmine label
have reissued the two LPs/CDs originally issued on the Prestige/Bluesville label. We’ll spin a side or two from that, but
most of our hour will come from other sources. It’s good stuff and we don’t
get around to him as often as we should. We try to atone during Hour #4. BTW
– If you like Hour #1, you’ll like Hour #1 this week. Only on BBS! |
