about

In 1980, the good folks at Yazoo Records issued a box set of 36 trading cards called "The Heroes of the Blues," with drawings by legendary illustrator and cartoonist R.

They've long been favorites with Blues fans, and on this program — the first of three — we dive head first into "The Heroes of the Blues."
