Episode Episode 34: Shout Bama Lama

Episode 34: Shout Bama Lama



Starting off 2012 with the gentleman who rang in the new year for me, the Bar Room Preacher, Mr. Jimmy Johnson. He and his band absolutely killed it at what's quickly become one of my favorite Chicago blues joints, B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted. Tiny, kinda dingy, and hinting at self-deprecating humor (the bathrooms labeled "Ladies" and "Other" continued to get funnier as the evening went on), the place has sorts of character and a surprisingly decent beer selection. After recently spending an evening at the Green Mill it was great getting back into a blues bar where things flow a little more freely and the overall atmosphere is of good times and whiskey. Not that I won't be back at Green Mill soon... but no one shushed us at B.L.U.E.S.

Beyond that, this week's episode is kind of interesting simply for the fact that Duran Duran is involed. I can't say they're a band I ever really considered adding to the mix, but The Chauffeur was sent to me on Spotify and I have to admit I like it. Whether or not there's more of them in the future of the show is yet to be seen, but if you're up to the challenge feel free to recommend a track of theirs on the Facebook page. Any and all other requests, as always, are welcome here on the blog, Twitter or Facebook.
