This week, RadioWilderLive.com invites you to a musical time capsule—a journey through the soul-soaked alleys of Chicago’s Blues Scene, where the air hums with stories and the harmonica wails like a weathered heart.
Billy Boy Arnold, the last living blues sage, stands at the crossroads of history. For half a century, he’s been the heartbeat of this gritty city, blowing life into his harp even as the world spins around him. At 88, he’s still got that fire—the kind that burns through the night, leaving echoes in its wake. He’ll weave his magic with “Dirty Mother Fuyer,” our Sticky of the Week.
Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, Thelma Houston, and George Benson gather in our Deuces are Wilder corner. They harmonize like old friends, singing “Don’t Leave Me this Way.” Their voices, like silk and smoke, wrap around your heart and refuse to let go.
The Smithereens, Pretenders, Black Keys, Tom Petty, and Mink Deville—they’re the fuel for our musical engine. So turn up the volume, let your hair down, and dance like nobody’s watching.
And then, there’s The Weeklings. A name that doesn’t scream greatness, but oh, they’ve got it. They spill secrets about “All the Cash in the World.” Listen closely; it’s a wild ride.
Howard Steele, our Rock n’ Roller Extraordinaire, shares a gem from Canada’s Trooper.
One more show before Capt’n Dave steers the ship into Retro Radio Wilder waters. So gather 'round, my friends, for episode #299.
Thanks for the birthday love—it’s the best gift a radio host could ask for and thanks for listening to RadioWilderLive.com. As always, remember to rock on and stay wild.
