Episode 61: Ringing in a Brand New Year 01 02 2022

Pacific St Blues & Americana Playlist: January 2, 2022 This month we'll rebroadcast interviews with Kris Lager, Hector Anchondo, Matt Cox, and Matt Whipkey. (These segments are available on previously posted podcast shows and thus are not included on this Podcast.) We'll also explore some of the early independent RnB and Blues labels that gave rise to early rock and roll. This week we listen to music from the Los Angeles-based Swing Time Records. Uniquely, this label was owned and operated by African-American impresario Jack Lauderdale. Also, Omaha Magazine did an article to commemorate the 31st Anniversary of Pacific St Blues and Americana: Omaha Magazine. 1. Keb Mo (feat: Old Crow Medicine Show) / Medicine Man 2.
