Guest: A Chapter in the History of the Blues
This week on The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill and Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell open up a special chapter that’s close to home—the music that inspired them and shaped the soul of the show itself. Instead of the usual history lesson, tonight’s ride is a personal journey through the songs that built their musical foundation.
From Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Led Zeppelin, The Band, ZZ Top, Bob Seger, Jimi Hendrix, and more—plus originals from Kevin Purcell & The Nightburners—this episode blends blues, rock, and roots into one unforgettable trip.
Hop on the big bus, grab your seat, and enjoy a night of music, stories, and the songs that made The Bus Stop Blues.
