Gulf Coast Blues and More: Barbara Lynn & Belton Richard
Tune in for the words and music of two storied artists of the Gulf South. First up, the Empress of Gulf Coast Soul, Barbara Lynn, of Beaumont, Texas. Ms. Lynn recalls her days as the Black Elvis, playing left-handed guitar and penning and recording her own first-person paeans of love lost. Accordion player Belton Richard talks about bringing his mix of Cajun and country to dancehalls across the region, and remembers his swamp pop days with the Musical Aces. Plus two hours of swampy blues, sultry country and more.
