Labor Day Blues

It’s another Saturday night and in my household that means The Fish Fry is on the radio KCUR- Kansas City. It’s a great program that highlights blues, R&B, soul, jumpin’ jazz, and zydeco music and oftentimes, KC artists. The week of July 6 they were doing a “road songs” theme. Here are a handful of the road songs they played that evening. Listen to the whole show at http://www.kcur.org/fish-fry-archives

Key to the Highway- Muddy Waters

Big Road Blues- Rory Block

T Model Blues- Lightnin’ Hopkins

Long Time to Get There- Betse Ellis

A few more of some country blues for those who are laboring on the highway this Labor Day weekend:

Mobile Blues- Waylon Jennings
Truck Driver’s Blues- Merle Haggard
Long, Lonesome Highway- Dick Curless
Gulf Coast Highway- Nanci Griffith
