April 20 Show: Preachin' the Blues

This week is Holy Week, and Easter is just around the corner, so this week's show is a great time to celebrate some of the many songs that show the spiritual side of the blues.  Actually, not all the songs featured will be serious, but most of them will be, and we'll hear from a variety of styles, including some of the old country blues masters like the great Son House.  Wednesday from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. on the Wildcat 91.9!
