In this new collection of interviews, Steve Cushing once again
invites readers into the vaults of Blues Before Sunrise, his
acclaimed nationally syndicated public radio show. Icons from
Memphis Minnie to the Gay Sisters stand alongside figures like
schoolteacher Flossie Franklin, who helped Leroy Carr pen some of
his most famous tunes; saxman Abb Locke and his buddy Two-Gun Pete,
a Chicago cop notorious for killing people in the line of duty; and
Scotty "The Dancing Tailor" Piper, a font of knowledge on the black
entertainment scene of his day. Cushing also devotes a section to
religious artists, including the world-famous choir Wings Over
Jordan and their travails touring and performing in the era of
segregation. Another section focuses on the jazz-influenced
Bronzeville scene that gave rise to Marl Young, Andrew Tibbs, and
many others while a handful of Cushing's early brushes with the
likes of Little Brother Montgomery, Sippi Wallace, and Blind John
Davis round out the volume.Diverse and entertaining, Blues Before
Sunrise 2 adds a chorus of new voices to the fascinating history of
Chicago blues.
