THERE ARE TWO PLAYLISTS BELOW

THIS WEEK’S PROGRAM

+ NEXT WEEK’S PLAYLIST

BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE FOR 4/21/19 RICKY ALLEN INTERVIEW RE-RE-REDEUX
This week on BBS we’ll revisit an interview you’re unlikely to hear anywhere else. If you missed the original broadcast in June 2004 and/or the redeux in February 2017 then the third time’s the charm. We’ll be talking to Blues singer Ricky Allen. Ricky actually came in twice back in 2002. The first time he was dead drunk and he could barely speak. A few weeks later I received a call from his wife Early asking if Ricky could come back and try again. She drove him and sat with him as he told his life-story. During Hours 3 & 4 we’ll listen to his interview accompanied by many of his vintage recordings (which seem to be largely unavailable today). Don’t Cut Us A-loose – tune in and hear for yourself. Only on BBS!
