Blues Unlimited #273 - Talking While the Music's Playing: Narrative Traditions in the Blues (Hour 2)

by Sleepy Boy Hawkins

subscriber exclusive

about

Join us as we take a look at narrative traditions in the blues. Starting with Speckled Red in 1929, we’ll hear classics along the way from Bo Diddley, Jack McVea, Pigmeat Markham, Robert Pete Williams, and B.B. King. It’s a whole program dedicated to talking while the music's playing — on this episode of Blues Unlimited.

Pictured: A huge 1947 crossover hit, the catchphrase, "Open the door, Richard!" quickly wound its way into American popular culture.
