Show 74: Cross-Generational Blues Collaborations
This is a late-era handoff show, built from old masters meeting younger bands, rock players, and revival audiences. The elders did not need saving. Their last chapters helped carry the blues into a new generation that was eager to learn, borrow, and sometimes learn directly from them.
For today's 74th episode of the CC Blues Show, we will be exploring some blues artists in the twilight, or prime, of their careers who had the foresight to impart their wisdom to the next generation when the blues was all but dead, once rock and roll overtook it between the '60s and '70s. You'll be hearing some truly unique pairings, from Howlin' Wolf and the members of Cream, to Willie Dixon and Otis Spann with Fleetwood Mac, the Doors with Albert King, and more. Up first it's the Canadian sensation the Band with Mavis and Pops.
