June 23 Show: Country Blues

Tonight we're exploring what happens when great blues musicians play country music or blues with a strong country influence.  Usually the results are a lot more interesting than what you would hear on country radio.  Also, we are celebrating the 80th birthday of blues singer Lazy Lester, who was born on June 20, 1933.
