Blues Moments in Time: November 12th – Echoes Across Eras
Join Kelvin Huggins as he dives deep into the tangled roots and resonant echoes of November 12th in blues history.
From Delta dirt roads to psychedelic soundscapes, November 12th hums with the heartbeat of blues history. In this episode, we trace the legacy of three genre-shaping artists born on this day—Bukka White, Booker T. Jones, and Neil Young—each a torchbearer in their own right. Their stories span bottleneck slide riffs, Memphis soul grooves, and folk-rock introspections steeped in blues tradition.
We revisit Bobby "Blue" Bland’s pivotal 1960 recording session for Two Steps from the Blues, a soul-blues cornerstone that still resonates with raw emotion and Muscle Shoals magic. Then we celebrate the 55th anniversary of Electric Ladyland, Jimi Hendrix’s final studio masterpiece—a kaleidoscope of blues rock and sonic innovation that redefined the genre’s boundaries.
Industry milestones echo through time: Chuck Berry’s 1955 Billboard accolade marked the blues’ crossover into mainstream rock, while the 2014 passing of Mitch Mitchell reminds us of the rhythmic fire behind Hendrix’s sound. And in a modern twist, we spotlight Jeff Lang’s electrifying 2022 performance at the Oakland Blues Festival in New Zealand—a testament to the genre’s global pulse and enduring spirit.
Tune in as we honor the artists, albums, and anniversaries that make November 12th a day of deep resonance in the blues calendar. This isn’t just history—it’s a living, breathing groove.
