Blues at the Crossroads

Great night out this week with college buddy Spike....


The Thunderbirds were airtight.

Mr. Kim Wilson was great - vocals/harmonica.

James Cotton was rollicking at 77 years young.

After a sucessful tour with the Robert Johnson Centennial Concerts, BLUES AT
THE CROSSROADS returns to celebrate the two ledgends, MUDDY WATERS and
HOWLIN' WOLF. Both musicians vie for the homor of the “father of modern
Chicago Blues” and both are considered the key bluesmen inspiring Mick
Jagger, Keith Richards, John Mayall, Eric Clapton and others who brought
about the 1960’s British blues explosion.Though friends, Muddy & The Wolf
were rivals for the top slot, and this spurred on both to top the other and
create classics of the genre, including Spoonful, Mannish Boy, Rolling
Stone, and Smokestack Lightning.
