The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 187

Legends Mix

And in this 187th show the kind of stories that you're used from me - like why the Sonny Boy Williamson that I'm playing today, is named 'the second', the bluesman who got covered by Elvis several times, another boxer who chose for the music and the life story of Bessie Smith. It's got some great music, too.
