With a curiosity that begins in the delta and extends to the stratosphere, your host, Emanuel Pordes, is a blues lover, for whom the addiction to 12 bar has no downside. If there's good blues to be had, no matter how old or lost, neglected, co-opted, or buried under the charts, Emanuel Pordes will find it for you. Featured artist: RONNIE EARL Ronnie Earl is one of those exceptions that prove the rule. He is not an African American from the Delta or Chicago. He is not a Texan whose first guitar was placed in his playpen. Ronnie Earl is a New Yorker who happened to be attending college in Boston where a friend took him to a Muddy Waters concert. Immediately after this show he took up the guitar and in only a couple of years he was playing before appreciative audiences. Not content to rely on his innate talent he has continued his intense study of his instrument....(from review of Still River by Toby Levy Copyright NY CD Blues - 1995)   Listen to Ronnie Earl's LINDA.
