Welcome to a new feature addition to Brown Shoes Blues. I am going to begin a blues artist Happy Birthday show that will recognize two blues artists who have birthdays each month. The shows will be shorter than the regular episodes that discuss one artist in depth.

This episode is a Happy Birthday Shout Out to Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy.

The titles of my releases the songs are taken from in this episode include Running with the Wolf, Essential Collection, and Swing Land on my label Big Guitar Music.

The musicians featured in the tracks on this episode are Derek O’Brien, Gary Primich, Nick Connolly, Paul Jr., Ronnie James, Steve Kilmer, and Wes Starr. I am on vocals and guitar.

Thank you to Ed and Simone Van Zijl from Provogue Records for the use of “Spoonful” in this broadcast.
