This Weekend on The BluesMobile Radio Hour: James Hunter!
HOUR 1: James Hunter
The great Brit singer James Hunter (and the James Hunter Six) have a new CD, HOLD ON, his first on the soul label, DapTone. Elwood explores the modern soul explosion, with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Leon Bridges, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, and Nick Waterhouse. Elwood has some Allen Toussaint in there as well. Plus more international soul music, out of Portugal, from Marta Ren and the Groovelvets.

HOUR 2: Shemekia Copeland
The newly crowned queen of the blues, Shemekia Copeland joins Elwood to tout her new release OUTSKIRTS OF LOVE, which does its part to keep the blues not only alive but rocking and contemporary. Also some ZZ Top for you, and a generous diva sampler of Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox, and Tina Turner.
