SOME BIG NEWS! But... WE NEED YOUR HELP! Blues Unlimited is thrilled to announce a new series of eBooks, three in all, that will compile the complete transcripts of all shows produced to date (starting with episode #140; previous to that, episodes were not scripted out). But... the fees to get these converted into eBooks is quite high. That's where your help comes in! We’re pleased to say that Volume 1 has been handed off to the eBook conversion team, and Volume 2 is now ready to go and awaiting funding. We hope to begin compiling Volume 3 later this week. https://www.gofundme.com/a-fund-raiser-for-blues-unlimited-radio Anyone who donates $20 or more will receive a pre-publication PDF of Volume 1, and anyone who donates $50 or more will be personally thanked on an upcoming episode of Blues Unlimited (please note that you MUST contact us via the form on our website at bluesunlimitedradio.com so that we know where to send your PDF and/or who to thank). And.... as always.... we greatly appreciate all your help! --SBH Join us for a special tribute to slide guitar master Earl Hooker. During the spring and summer of 1969, he recorded extensively for Bluesway, behind folks like Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Charles Brown, Jimmy Witherspoon, Johnny "Big Moose" Walker, and more, becoming one of the highlights of his career. In addition, we'll also be featuring a few selections from the tribute album, "Do You Remember The Great Earl Hooker," composed of recordings he made in Sauk City, Wisconsin, in 1966 and 1967, with the help of Freddie Roulette. A look at the Bluesway recordings of Earl Hooker, on this episode of Blues Unlimited. Pictured: This tribute album, issued by Bluesway in 1973, was compiled from recordings Hooker made in 1966 and 1967 in Sauk City, Wisconsin. On the BU Blog this week, it’s part two of “10 Desert Island Gospel Discs,” from blues expert, author, and scholar Bob Eagle.
