Time Signatures with Jim Ervin

Born into the Blues with Teeny Tucker


Listen Later

This week on Time Signatures with Jim Ervin, Erv welcomes true Blues royalty, and another top woman in the Blues, Teeny Tucker.  Teeny talks about her earliest inspirations in music, spending summers with her legendary musician father, Tommy Tucker, that 1994 ‘baptism by fire’, and subsequent breakthrough performance at the Apollo Theater in New York, opening for B.B. King, traveling to Chicago to catch a show by Etta James-and their deep unspoken connection during the show, her memorable performance at the 2014 BMA’s in Memphis, her incredible artwork….and the ‘Two Big Ms’, Teeny’s tribute to Big Mama Thornton and Big Maybelle. This is another one of those episodes you do NOT want to miss.  So much history and so many stories!
