Chicago Blues giant Buddy Guy knows how to make an album. Set for release on July 30th, his 77th birthday, Guy’s 2-disc “Rhythm & Blues” is a leading-edge, powerful achievement from the biggest name in the blues… with a little help from some seriously talented friends.
Johnny Otis, the “godfather of rhythm and blues” who wrote and recorded the R&B classic “Willie and the Hand Jive” and for decades evangelized black music to white audiences as a bandleader and radio host, has died. He was 90.
