Piece Description
Review of Grammy-winning album "Last Of The Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen". WE WANT YOUR INPUT! If you have any interest in airing a weekly short feature on blues music, please listen to these "Blues File" programs and offer your response-- what you like or not, what you would like, and "basic issues" such as: do you prefer an exact fixed length or can it vary? What length do you prefer? Do you like them self-contained as they are now, or would you be happier if they need a local intro or outro? When would you air it? (it airs on WXPN Philadelphia Thursday mornings at 8:30.) Thanks! -Jonny Meister/WXPN-FM The Grammys don't always understand the blues, but they got it right with "Last Of The Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen" this year.
