The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 226
Legends Mix
Today's set starts deep in the roaring twenties with two blues from as far back as 1923. After the smash success of the very first blues on record, in 1920, recordings of female blues singers with piano or small band had become quite common.
Today also the story how Joe Lutcher did or did not talk Little Richard into quitting his Rock & Roll career, and whether Paramount producer Aletha Dickerson was or wasn't Barrelhouse Annie.
