The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 207

Legends Mix

Great music that today starts in the fifties and ends in the twenties - and that brings you the not-so-registered trademark of Roosevelt Sykes, jump blues of a man whose heart was with the old-style New Orleans jazz, the son of Lucille Bogan, a Black Patti record and a bluesman named after a confederate army man who won a battle with only 35 soldiers. Unfortunately, of the bluesman, less is known.

O - and did I tell ya I'll play great music?
