about

Join us as we pay tribute to the BluesTime label — a short-lived subsidiary imprint of Flying Dutchman. Their main claim to fame was a legendary album called "Super Black Blues," issued 1969, featuring Big Joe Turner and T-Bone Walker, along with a second volume that was recorded live at Carnegie Hall (with Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson and others) the following year. Along the way, we'll enjoy a few rarities, as well as a few selections from the very last studio LP of keyboard giant, Otis Spann. It's a tribute to the BluesTime label, on this episode of Blues Unlimited.
