11:06 Beale Street Caravan
David Knowles and The Beale are back with the best in blues from the Blues Foundation in Memphis.
Bernard Allison is first up with his "take no prisoner" approach to his music. Son of Luther, and influenced by him and other greats, it's obvious that Bernard has inherited Luther's knack for igniting audiences. His style is a unique mix of traditional and modern influences. This set is from B.B. King's in Memphis.
And if that's not enough, how about rising star John Németh, a harmonica player of great style and virtuosity. His decade long career has found him opening for Robert Cray, Keb Mo', and Earl Thomas. Set your wireless on fire with his music from the 2008 Mississippi Valley Blues Fest in Davenport, Iowa.
But wait, there's more! Guest host Cybil Shepherd tells us about Women and the Blues.
