88.1 KDHX Saint Louis

This is a Texas band, named after the street where Stax Studios was located. Melting Pot was the title track of the last album from the classic lineup of Booker T and the MGs.

PT Gazell is a harmonica player of some note, one who doesn't sit within one specific genre. 'The Thumb' is a Wes Montgomery composition.

Slo Leak was Charlie Karp and Danny Kortchmar. Truth be told, I do wanna do the bop with you, loyal listener.

Doug MacLeod's new 'Memphis' album, as he and he is wife split from Los Angeles and relocated to Memphis a couple years back.

I'm sending this one out to the Blursday boys, as I know they are big fans of Lloyd Jones. Delbert McClinton guests on this song - double trouble!

Cash McCall was a noted songwriter and record man in Chicago for years, born in New Madrid, MO. Look him up if not familiar...he was big time, people.

Ain't nothin' better than a down home girl, and Taj makes sure you understand why. Backed here by The Phantom Blues Band, who had a brand new album of their own out now.

Cousin of Michael Burks, and a noted blues and roots artist in his own right, Larry McCray has a tremendous album on his hands right here.

Some private stash music for your enjoyment.....just another reason why KDHX truly is the Gem of the Midwest!

A new blues duo with deep roots to the MS Hill Country and to Memphis - hence the name. Damion Pearson and Cam Kimbrough - yes, from those Kimbroughs.

JW is one of the leading lights of young blues artists - you need to know this cat!

Song composed by Clifford Brown. The Crunch Time album continues w/ a winning formula of mixing swing, funk, blues, gospel and jazz. American Music, Babies!

This is a Ron Levy composition. His 'help' includes Melvin Sparks, Idris Muhammad, Stanley Banks, Ralph Dorsey, Gordon Beadle and Ray Greene.

James Solberg's band was who backed Luther Allison on his 1990s Alligator albums, as the men were great friends and went back a long, long time.

Parts Un and Deux were included as new tracks on this 2 CD Best of set. The band is one of the finest blues and roots acts in Europe, bar none.

Great advice from Junior, who was always known to have a way with the ladies. The album features the young 'reptile' duo of Stevie Lizard on guitar and friend of KDHX Johnny Iguana on keys.

Clarence Carter's classic tune, sung here by the WW Cham-peen of blues and soul, Marty Abdullah during his stint with the Soulard Blues Band.

The always gloriously raw, ragged and earthy Frank 'Son' Seals !

Carolyn's breakout album with Alligator Records, with a tremendous version of Bob Dylan's song here.

Canadian artist with the deep Texas sound, Sue Foley herself! Now, how to get her a gig in St. Louis....

Jim Alfredson is the organ grinder, with Joe Gloss playing guitars and Randy Marsh on drums and ...harmonica?!

Album named in honor of the band's drummer, Daniel Weiss. Delvon Lamarr on organ, Jimmy Jones on guitar.

While a wonderful album, sadly it is also a posthumous album. Sven Z was one of the finest blues and soul singers in the buisiness, as well as gifted guitarist and songwriter.

John Nemeth is currently healing from life saving high tech surgery. He's doing extremely well, so hopefully we'll hear him doing his thing again soon than later.

The RKs were a tough band out of the Boston area, featuring Brian Templeton on vox and harp, Michael Dinallo on guitars, and Bob Christina on drums.

James Cotton knew...rock and roll wasn't anything new. Originally on Buddah Records, 1975. On the whole, one could call this album Cotton's New Orleans album.

The human jukebox, Morris Holt, better known as Magic Slim, along with this always groovin' Teardrops.

I hope you were lucky enough to have seen Koko Taylor live and in person - twice for me, transcendent on each occasion.

Song recorded with Rod Piazza's band, the Mighty Flyers.

Ah, the great, and to this day dearly missed, Bennie Smith, with the band being all St. Louis artist I believe - essentially his Urban Blues Express.
