The Pine Grove Blues - River City Slim

The Pine Grove Blues - River City Slim

Tune in every Thursday morning and start your day with some upbeat Gospel music, deep southern Soul, funky Soul blues, Cajun and Zydeco from the heart of the Bayou country,  or some swinging jump Blues.  Dance your way to work with some Texas Blues, or relax to a deep Soul ballad.  Fiddles, accordions, harmonicas, huge upright basses and vintage hollow-body guitars weave a sturdy support for the voices of American Roots music -- the voices you won't hear on commercial radio. 
 
The artists you might hear on The Pine Grove Blues include Keith Frank & The Soileau Zydeco Band, Soul legends like Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge, O.V. Wright and Ann Peebles, Cajun stars Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys, Blues pioneers Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf or Lightnin' Hopkins, modern Blues from The Fabulous Thunderbirds, William Clarke, funky Soul Blues from Dave Keller, John Nemeth or The Mighty Soul Drivers -- the list is practically endless.  Blues, Cajun, Soul, Zydeco, Tex-Mex, Swamp Pop -- it's all part of the Gumbo on The Pine Grove Blues!  Tune in every Thursday for a tasty start to your morning!
