The Empress, Bessie Smith & The Wolf, Chester Burnett are discussed!
This is a re-release of our #ProfilesInTheBlues episode, Bessie & The Wolf! Originally released 9/27/21:
“Profiles In The Blues is a new umbrella concept on the podcast! In the initial episode, the Imbalanced Brothers delve deeper into the subjects of Bessie Smith, The Empress Of The Blues, (who’s been mentioned before), and Chester Burnett‘s alter ego, Howlin’ Wolf!
Both were amazing forces of musical nature in their own unique way! These two under-appreciated American artists are part of the legacy that this podcast was founded to spotlight. While there will be many more episodes in this area, we invite you to enjoy this episode, and then dig back for our stories, and three episodes, about Robert Johnson, if you find the time!
Take time to learn stuff about stuff you already know stuff about!
Listen to this cool episode, and then get caught up here!!!
Thanks to our sponsor, Crooked Eye Brewery for their support of the podcast!”
