  Summer Festivals
  Lookin' for a good time? Well, the opportunities are almost endless if blues festivals fit your idea of fun. Don't forget your sunblock!
  Blues Emancipator
  Jimmy Reed mumbled when he sang, drank a lot and had a deceptively simple style. Joe Nick Patoski, with the help of some friends, makes a case that Jimmy Reed helped pave the way for civil rights in the South.
  Bringing It Back Home
  New Jersey-born Walter Trout has been rockin' in the UK for years. He's finally starting to get a following back in the States.
  Asia Calling
  It may be a long way from the Delta, but if you're looking to jam in Singapore, you won't be speaking a totally foreign language.
  Whips and Bones
  In this first part of a new series, Johnnie Mae Dunson and Honeyboy Edwards shoot from the hip with some wild tales about their days with the dice.
  Lone Cat's Last Prowl
  At age 75, Jesse Fuller had nearly fallen into the same disrepair as his basement full of instruments. But he pulled it together with a flourish for one final concert.
