As happens occasionally, the next hour of The Roadhouse focuses on the feeling. Monster Mike Welch and Mike Ledbetter, Magic Slim & The Teardrops, Jai Malano, Lynwood Slim & Kid Ramos, and The Juke Joint Rockers & Willie "Big Eyes" Smith made the final cut along with a load of other great blues artists. Sometimes it's worthwhile to just follow that feeling - the feeling that this will be another hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the 812th Roadhouse.
