Rich Blackmarr will host the Front Porch Blues Show this evening to bring you another Rockin' In Rhythm Archives edition of blues, jazz, and R&B from the year 1962. Featured singers will range from Eddie Jefferson and Etta Jones on the jazz side to Carol Fran and Jimmy McCracklin on the R&B/blues side. All with a strong blues feel, also included will be instrumentals from Kenny Burrell & Coleman Hawkins, Count Basie, and Pony Poindexter.
