Hosted by Road Bill and Kevin Purcell

On this special edition of The Bus Stop Blues, we open up the book of time and turn to a chapter that tells the story of America’s greatest musical gift — the blues. From its earliest roots in the work songs and spirituals of the Deep South, to the raw grit of the Delta, and on to the electrified sounds of Chicago and beyond, the blues has always carried the truth of human experience.

This isn’t just music history — it’s a living, breathing story of struggle, resilience, and joy that shaped the soundtrack of the world. Tonight, the bus is rolling back through time… welcome to A Chapter in the History of the Blues.
