Bobby Rush | I Ain't Studdin' Ya: My American Blues Story


Listen Later

In conversation with Jonny Meister, host of The Blues Show on WXPN
In his five decades in blues music, Grammy-winner Bobby Rush has recorded hundreds of his own songs, collaborated with the likes of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, and headlined music festivals all over the world. At 87, he still tours more than 200 days a year, entertaining audiences with his unique funk-infused blues tunes. An inductee to the Blues Hall of Fame, a B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, and a 13-time Blues Music Award winner, he recently performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and played himself in the 2019 film Dolemite Is My Name. Named for one of Rush's most popular songs, I Ain't Studdin' Ya tells the story of an incredible life and continuing legendary career.
