Many people are glad to put 2018 in the rearview mirror after another year of wild rides. The headlines were dominated with news about wild fires, mid-term elections and trade-wars; but all of that is for some other show. At Blues America there was no royal wedding, no #metoo scandal or talk about a wall. We added more stations, listeners and produced over 20 new programs that featured legends and the top talent in the business. Saddly, we lost too many blues heroes including Preston Shannon and Eddy Clearwater who spoke with us shortly to their passing. Before we close the book and write a new chapter in 2019 for season 5 of Blues America, we rewind the tape to hear what the year sounded like featuring some of the best guests and outtakes from 2018.
