This week on The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill and Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell open the pages of music’s greatest storybook for another installment of “A Chapter in the History of the Blues.”
From the Delta’s dusty crossroads to Chicago’s electric backrooms, the blues has carried generations through heartbreak, hope, and everything in between. In this episode, we trace those roots through the legends who shaped the sound — and the voices who kept it alive.
Along the way, Kevin and Road Bill share Tales from the Road, swap stories about the birth and evolution of the blues, and keep the banter rolling between tracks that hit like a freight train.
🚌 The bus is heading back through blues history tonight — climb aboard, settle in, and let the music tell the story.
