The Roadhouse Podcast #516

We’re at the corner of Maxwell and Halstead this week with an hour given over entirely to Chicago. Focused on the years from the mid-1940s to the early-1970s, we hit what may be a sweet spot for Chicago blues. Little Walter, Junior Wells, Otis Rush, Big Bill Broonzy, Big Walter Horton – legendary names that helped define Chicago as The Home of the Blues. It’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 516th Roadhouse.
