Black History Month: Blues

We're spotlighting different genres each week for Black History Month on WFUV. This week, along with rock, country and Americana, the spotlight is on the blues. So for the Question of the Day we'll focus in on Black artists playing the blues. Pass along your requests and we'll spin a set after 9 a.m.

 

Here's what we played:

 

Sonny Boy Williamson "Help Me"

 

Merry Clayton "Steamroller"

 

John Lee Hooker with Carlos Santana "The Healer"

 

Taj Mahal "Statesboro Blues"
