Over the past few seasons, BSC has brought our listeners a lot of Memphis music from a funky Midtown dive known as Bar DKDC (Don’t Know, Don’t Care). On this week’s program we take a closer look at what makes a music spot special. We talk with the owner, restaurateur Karen Carrier, and we have killer performances from The Reigning Sound and Lucy Woodward!

Bill Abel is a Delta blues guitar player and singer through and through. Growing up in Belzoni, Mississippi, he befriended a neighborhood welder and blues guitarist named Paul “Wine” Jones. The future Fat Possum Records artist became Abel’s mentor. Through the years, Abel has deepened his musical knowledge by accompanying other legends like Honeyboy Edwards, Henry Townsend, T-Model Ford and many others. Abel has also recorded with Big George Brock, Cadillac John Nolden, Sam Carr, Hubert Sumlin, Odell Harris and others. He’s played many European shows as well. Often, he plays traditional country blues on cigar-box guitars. He makes these instruments using driftwood from the Mississippi River. He also plays acoustic and electric guitars with a full band, solo, or a one-man blues band with foot drums. His most recent release is “Bill Abel, One-Man-Band” recorded live with no overdubs.

This week we have a great show from a few years back with Greyhounds.

Also on the program, we continue our series “The Man Who Invented Rock and Roll.” This week, the late Sam Phillips talks about Rufus Thomas.
