about

Join us as we aim the spotlight on Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. Known for being an imaginative songwriter and a first-rate interpreter of traditional material, he was a towering figured that possessed a striking voice, and was one of the highly influential musicians of the 1940s and early 1950s. We'll listen to some of the more famous tunes in his catalog (many of which have since become standards), some of his early influences, and a few of the musicians he helped inspire along the way.
