It's time once again to explore the deep blue hue that is the basis of so much of American music, and in particular jazz. In this hour we'll groove to some discs that complain about and then explain the human condition in the direct and brutally honest way that blues does best. We've all suffered the highs and lows of life, but with the blues as a soundtrack there's always some musical joy to accompany us on the journey.
