This edition of "Midwest BEAT Blues" is somewhat of a salute to CHESS RECORDS. It's mostly focused on the classic, forgotten and very vintage artists/tracks.

For this week's edition of "MIDWEST BEAT BLUES" program things begin with a triple play of rock blues from the late RICK DERRINGER with one song from three of Rick's blues releases of the early 1990s and early 2000s.

Midwest Beat Blues: Friday, May 30, 2025

For this week's program, host and producer Tom Lounges raided the radio station blues vault and pulled out vinyls and CDs of some of his favorite live concert albums to create this special two hour "fantasy concert" where some of blues music's top artists and some of Tom's personal favorites were sequenced back to back with various live performance recordings to create a seemingly non-stop performance.

This week's program -- brought to the air weekly by Tom Lounges Record Bin in downtown Hobart, Indiana -- is themed and titled as "LADIES SING THE BLUES"
