Join Feldie for an all-blues edition of Lucky Old Souls.  The blues is a lot more than a man on a porch playing a guitar or a band rockin' a juke joint.  Check out today's show for blues from a wide range of musicians, including Leadbelly, Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Otis Redding, Archie Shepp, and many many more.

Don't miss it...
