Hungry Blues

What this episode covers

My google alerts on "Hungry Blues" sometimes turn up interesting things. Steven Taylor of the Fugs has written a song that is also called Hungry Blues. It's very much in the spirit of the original song that my blog is named after. It's not quite as good, but it's a tall order to be asked to measure up to Langston Hughes and James P. Johnson. May the visions of both songs come to pass. Steven Taylor Hungry Blues Poetry Project New Years Marathon from Thelma Blitz on Vimeo. If you're new to this blog or just have never checked out the song on my About page, here's the Hughes/Johnson composition. More info about it is available on the About page (scroll to the end).
