For this edition of The Roadhouse, I've got an hour of introductions for you - a show full of artists who have never been featured. They're not necessarily new artists, but they're all brand new to The Roadhouse, and they're a good indication of the big broad world of blues lying out there on the horizon. Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings, Kevin Gordon, Grayson Capps, Darell Nulisch & Texas Heat, and Joe Calicott set the stage for another great hour of blues - an hour of introductions to artists brand new to The Roadhouse.

The 166th Roadhouse is a mess o' blues. It's pretty heavy on guitar and harp. It features youngsters and veterans, artists previously featured in The Roadhouse, and some new to the show. Sue Foley, Jason Ricci, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Sugar Blue, and a moving track from the final Sean Costello CD. It's an hour packed with blues - a mess o' blues - the 166th Roadhouse Podcast.

After a week away, The 165th Roadhouse starts at the beginning, runs through the middle, and ends at the end. It's a puzzle of blues that fell together seemingly on its own, including King Biscuit Boy, Sean Costello, Marcia Ball, Eric Bibb, and Cold Blue Steel. Those are just the milemarkers, though, in an hour-long trek through the finest blues you've never heard: the 165th Roadhouse Podcast.

The 159th Roadhouse Podcast is an upbeat affair. You might call it jump, you might call it swing, you might call it boogie. There's even a liberal sprinkling of West Coast blues. But if you follow the walking bass, you'll know that's it clearly a jumpin' edition of The Roadhouse. Mark Hummel, Jay McShann, Ana Popovic, William Clarke, and Rick Holmstrom will make you move and groove for another hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the 159th Roadhouse Podcast.

The Roadhouse takes a twisy road this week. It's one of those editions where I started screening music and just let it lead wherever. Ivory Joe Hunter, Curtis Salgado, Calvin Owens Blues Orchestra, Ian Siegal and Matt Schofield, and Joe Louis Walker take the driver's seat to no place in particular. Destination or not, the 158th Roadhouse is yet another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

Taking us deep into the Roadhouse atmosphere, Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King, Ian Siegal, Honeyboy Edwards, Rick Holmstrom, and Charlie Musselwhite encourage plenty of chair-dancing. It's the first edition of the fourth year of The Roadhouse, an hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

The 156th edition of The Roadhouse celebrates three years of the finest blues you've never heard. The focus is on artists you probably heard first in The Roadhouse; some great music from Garageband.com, some artists who have taken the blues world by storm in the past three years, and some who had a great reputation among their peers but not a wider following. Artist, listeners and fellow podcasters participate in the celebration, as well. It's the third anniversay of The Roadhouse - the finest blues you've never heard.
