Thats right pals, you cant get away from the fact this is the next episode of BLUES BASKET.
LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE.

This week were taking a trip down Memory Lane in Bluesville- NEWPORT FESTIVAL 1964. Possibly the greatest collection of blues talent on one bill ever put together. You'll never see a more important line-up of bluesmen in your entire life. If you were lucky enough to be there (I was) you'll never forget that weekend honestly. Brings tears to your eyes. 3 of the artists from that festival are in this episode of BLUES BASKET-

Reverend Robert Wilkins- Skip James- Mississippi John Hurt
