Show 99: Instruments Do the Talkin' Blues Revisited
This one puts the spotlight on instrumental voice: harp, piano, guitar, and the players who could say as much in a break as a singer could in a verse. The point is simple: in blues, the instrument is never just accompaniment; it argues, testifies, answers back, and sometimes steals the whole sermon.
