Blues Moments in Time: November 13 - Echoes of the Blues


Listen Later

Join Kelvin Huggins as he dives deep into the tangled roots and resonant echoes of November 13th in blues history.

On this date, the blues sings loud and clear across generations and continents. From the birth of revivalist John P. Hammond to the passing of Chicago blues architect Willie Dixon, November 13 marks a crossroads of legacy and innovation. We revisit the only blues song to ever top the UK pop charts—The Rolling Stones’ “Little Red Rooster”—and celebrate Shemekia Copeland’s genre-bending release, Talking to Strangers. Tune in for tales of swamp harmonicas, psychedelic guitarists, and unforgettable live sets—from Howlin’ Wolf in Denmark to Buddy Guy in London. With stops in Australia and New Zealand, this episode charts the global heartbeat of blues culture, proving that November 13 is no ordinary day—it’s a moment in time where the blues remembers, roars, and reaches out.
