Crossroads wraps up the January Best of 2015 feature with some show favorites, Blues Music Awards nominees, and also newly announced winners in the Offbeat and Maple Blues awards. Plus birthday salutes to singer Big Time Sarah (who passed away in 2015) and blues harp great Charlie Musselwhite . We also remember Otis Clay who recently passed away and highlight more music from the massive 2015 Otis Redding Soul Manifesto box set.
