That’s Wednesday, July 22, 2009, from 2-4am MST, only on www.kxci.org

And next week, don’t miss a show that we’re very proud to present, which will profile the greatest of the greats of Texas Blues Guitar. We stay pretty much strictly uptown for this tribute– T-Bone Walker, Gatemouth Brown, Lowell Fulson, Albert Collins, and, yes, Freddy King, too! (Some of the great Texas Country Blues artists– like Lightnin’ Hopkins, Frankie Lee Sims, Smokey Hogg, Soldier Boy Houston (and many more)– will be featured in an upcoming show).

It all happens on “Blues Unlimited,” every Wednesday, from 2-4am, only on KXCI Community Radio, 91.3FM, right here in Tucson.

Tonight on ‘Blues Unlimited,’ part one of a special three-part series devoted to the music and performers who were part of the legendary American Folk Blues Festival tours. Tonight, in particular, is devoted to the early years, 1962-1966. Organized by two German men, Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau, the Festivals (or just AFBF for short) brought together an amazing array of blues talent that was soaked up by an eager, young, European audience just when they were ready to hear it. In England, particularly, future members of the Rolling Stones (among others) rented a truck to drive to the 1962 show to catch a glimpse of some of their blues-hero legends in person. In the spring of 1963, Blues Unlimited magazine was born, and the blues revival of the 1960s was well underway.

Perhaps you’ve seen the DVDs of the AFBF performances, or heard of them. Relive some of the heady magic of yesteryear, tonight, July 8, 2009, from 2-4am, MST, only on www.kxci.org

Oh, and future programs will be devoted to the AFBF 1967-1972 years, and a third installment on the early 1980s tours. Enjoy!

On the next edition of Blues Unlimited, a look back to some of the greatest moments of live blues performance. From B.B. King’s classic ‘Live at the Regal,’ to Muddy Waters’ ground-breaking performance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival, to Robert Nighthawk’s low-down (and jaw-dropping!) gutbucket blues recorded live at Chicago’s legendary Maxwell Street Market in 1964, to Magic Sam’s incredible performance at Ann Arbor in 1969, we’ll have two hours of not just great blues, but some of the greatest blues ever recorded, period. Don’t miss this extra special edition of Blues Unlimited, only on Tucson’s Community Radio Station, KXCI, 91.3 FM, this Wednesday from 2-4am. Or listen online at www.kxci.org.

On this week’s installment of ‘Blues Unlimited,’ a very special program dedicated to the originators of the Memphis Blues. From Furry Lewis to Gus Cannon to Frank Stokes, Will Batts, Noah Lewis, and more. And of course, the best of the best from those great Memphis Jug Bands. Only on www.kxci.org (91.3 FM if you live in Southern Arizona), from 2-4am MST, this Wednesday, June 10, 2009.

This week on “Blues Unlimited,” don’t miss a special two-hour tribute to some of the greatest Post-War Chicago Blues Guitarists. From Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, Muddy Waters, & Jimmy Rogers to Elmore James, J.B. Lenoir, & Jimmy Reed, we’ll take a chronological look, starting with Crudup’s seminal waxing of “That’s All Right Mama” and Muddy’s very first 78 (in 1946) to Elmore James’ 1952 arrival in Chicago with his patented super-amplified electric-Delta-Chicago blues. Only on www.kxci.org, this Wednesday, 5/27/09, from 2-4am MST (Or catch us over the air on 91.3 FM if you happen to live in Southern Arizona).

I’ll be filling in for Marty Kool this Saturday, from 5-9pm MST, on 91.3 FM (if you live in Southern Arizona) or you can stream it live over www.kxci.org — Yeah, it might sound redundant, but we’ve got four great hours of blues planned — don’t miss it.

This week on “Blues Unlimited,” it’s more of our favorite post-war down home Rhythm Rockin’ Blues. Everyone from Junior Brooks to K.C Douglas and a little bit of everything else in between. Don’t miss it, only on www.kxci.org, this Wednesday morning, May 13, 2009, from 2-4am MST
