New Month/New Music Time

February 6/8

It’s “New Month/New Music” time as Crossroads teams up with Global Village and Strange Currency at the beginning of every month to highlight the best in new releases.

Among the new blues titles featured this time at the Crossroads:

Steve Earle’s soon-to-be released blues album, Terraplane

The third album on his own label from Tinsley Ellis

  The return of blues pals Smokin’ Joe Kubek & Bnois King

Chicago blues from the Eric Noden Band and the expanded reissue of Junior Wells’ Southside Blues Jam with Buddy Guy

Saxophonist Sax Gordon

And Worthy, the new album from singer Bettye LaVette as she continues her remarkable comeback saga.
