From: WXPN

Bell_small In this hour of The Blues & Beyond, new blues from children of the blues. Lurrie Bell is the son of the late great harmonica player Carey Bell. We'll check out his new album "The Devil Ain't Got No Music" which includes his version of a James Taylor song. Also, the debut album of Bonnie McCoy, grand niece of Memphis Minnie, and daughter of bluesman George McCoy. We also have songs from the new releases of two terrific singers, Catherine Russell and Cynthia Felton, and music from the soundtrack for the animated film Chico & Rita, a jazz-infused film featuring music of pianist Bebo Valdés that was nominated for an Oscar this year. We'll remember two great artists nicknamed Red who passed on the same day, February 25, bluesman Louisiana Red and saxophone star Red Holloway, and we have another 2012 cover of a James Taylor song, from bassist John Brown & group, all, somehow, squeezed into this hour of The Blues & Beyond.
