BLUES NEWS. We support all efforts to keep the Blues alive and growing.
Atlanta's WRFG (89.3 FM), proudly calls itself Radio
Free Georgia, for good reason. Free from the shackles of commercial
radio (hours of mindless "oldies", repetitious programming,
trash-mouthed DJ's, etc. ad nauseam),this station covers the Blues each
weekday morning for three uninterrupted hours. Commentary is consistently
enlightening. Here's a few tidbits gleaned from just one morning:
Rufus Thomas (who was the inspiration for the incredible Irish movie,
The Commitments) ,hosts, at age 87, his radio show each
Saturday morning from Memphis.
Also, Big Bill Morganfield, Muddy Waters' son, carries on his dad's blues
tradition from his Atlanta base.
And, have you heard African-American Blues diva Francine Reed's recording
of Crazy (the same song that was one of Patsy Cline's great
crossover hits in the sixties), a collaboration with country music superstar
Willie Nelson?
Awesome and meaningful.
