The Other Black Music November 28, 2010

My WRIR colleague DJ Graybeard asked me to fill in for him this week (Sunday 3-5 PM), and I'll do my best to fill his extra-large shoes with two hours of great black music -- maybe not ancient to the future, but at least from 1960 to today.

You'll hear from all kinds of folks: Arthur Lee & Love, Ronald Shannon Jackson & The Decoding Society, Howlin' Wolf, Andy Palacio, Ishmael Reed, Soul Messengers (pictured above, a band of Black Hebrew Israelites from Chicago via Liberia), Alton Ellis, Etta James, and many more.
