Good news, Blues KRUUzers!

While stocking up on unlistenable free jazz CDs for Monday afternoon's "Just Plain Jazz" show, I stumbled upon a choice selection of vintage jump blues that will have you and your honey showing off your slick dance moves wherever you happen to be listening.

Joe Liggins and his Honeydrippers (choice stuff), Roy Milton & the Solid Senders (3 CDs worth!), King Perry and his Pied Pipers (never heard of him before, but he cracks me up) and tons more of the tight, swinging, sassy music that paved the way for rhythm'n'blues and rock'n'roll. Get ready to groove to "The Hucklebuck", "Pink Champagne", "I Can't Lose With the Stuff I Use" and even some songs that were too racy for those wide-open times! "I Wonder Who's Boogien' my Woogie?"

Find out Saturday night as we celebrate the feel-good dance music of 50 and 60 years ago!
