For this third installment, the blues recordings will primarily be those released in July, August, and September of 1957. The playlist will revisit about ten artists featured last week, but will also include Willie Mabon, Marie Adams, Otis Rush, Slim Harpo, Ray Charles, Linda Hopkins, Johnny Heartsman, Red Prysock, Jody Williams, Teddy McRae, Smiley Lewis, Guitar Slim, Ella Johnson, Jimmy Witherspoon, TV Slim, Jennell Hawkins, and others, even including a tune from comedian Redd Foxx.
