Love this Howlin' Wolf 🐺 track
Sonny Boy III (host) 10:44:11 AM
One of my favorites!
Christine 🦉 10:48:06 AM
Sounding great, SBW III!
Sonny Boy III (host) 10:49:22 AM
Thanks Christine!
Joe 11:14:11 AM
SB III : Thanks for the BBofA track ! Can't go wrong there..
Richard from Rocky Hill 11:16:21 AM
Thanks for playing this version of "Higher Ground" by the Blind Boys of Alabama. It's really powerful, IMHO as great in its own way as the Stevie Wonder original.
Sonny Boy III (host) 11:16:21 AM
my pleasure!
Sonny Boy III (host) 11:20:58 AM
Even by Jimmie Rodgers standards this is some pretty impressive yodeling on this track
Richard from Rocky Hill 11:29:06 AM
@ Sonny Boy III (host) I agree! Beautiful and seemingly effortless yodeling.
Richard from Rocky Hill 11:34:35 AM
Ha! That 1962 recording of "Never Never," with Washboard Sam making reference to the great dance craze of the early 1960s, with someone (Grandma?) "in the back yard, doin' the Twist"! Solid, I love it!
Hanoi Moks 11:38:01 AM
Big Bill doesn't look very big in photos
Sonny Boy III (host) 11:38:41 AM
