110. Nothing But The Blues w/ Rare Candy

Let's try to save the blues from SINNERS. After reviewing Ry Coogler's latest up against the much more profound BLACK SNAKE MOAN (2006) and more liberated CROSSROADS (1986), I take Glen Rockney and Crypto Psi of Rare Candy on a personal-historical tour of the music that made me the man (and woman) I am today.
