Midwest Beat Blues: Friday, June 13, 2025

Tom Lounges

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.  It's a bit of throwback show with a fair share of early blues of the 1950s and 1960s that then returns the listener back to today with a new Chess-related song.

A few other random blues wrap up the last 15 or so minutes of the program.

Tom Lounges has been a radio personality and music journalist since 1979. For the last 43 years, Tom has been reporting on entertainment as a weekly music columnist and feature writer for The Times newspaper.
