Jail house blues aka the pig's big 78s

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer Playlist for 8/26/07

Three themes on tonight's show. After 2 weeks in London I brought back The Pig's Big 78s cd compilation. The Pig AKA Sheila Ravenscroft is the wife of the late BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel. Leading up to the Millenium she started presenting a featured 78 from John's mammoth collection each show. I've picked a few choice ones to air tonight. Also we're featuring artists who will be appearing next Friday at the Howlin Wolf Memorial Blues Festival in West Point, MS. Finally I even fit in a few new blues discs.
