We had such an engaging and inspiring conversation with Christopher Wyze! His passion for the blues, his infectious enthusiasm, and his journey from the world of advertising to pursuing music were all captivating. Christopher opened up about the story behind his new album, Live atClarksdale, and even challenged us with the reminder that you actually haveto do the work to create songs. With LIVE in CLARKSDALE, Christopher Wyze & the Tellers give fans around the world who have devoured their studio work a first look and listen to the band…LIVE. It all happened on October 1, 2024, at the Juke Joint Chapel – in front of a live audience. Wyze and the five-piece Tellers put on their finest show to date right there on the surprisingly grand stage. (Never mind that it was their first show.) History tells us the now-cozy Juke JointChapel music hall has been reincarnated. Long ago, the place attracted a much different crowd. And the sounds it emitted? Might different, too. We're talking the whirring , whizzing, straining refrains of different kind of "music" – the sound of cotton being ginned. LIVE in CLARKSDALE, the soundtrack and video show, features eight of the band's original radio-charting "Stuck in the Mud" album studio singles, including their RMR #1 hit "Back to Clarksdale"(Here's the Set List.) Plus, it features two all-time blues standards from the 1920s: "How Long, How Long Blues" and "Nobody Knows you When You're Down and Out" – the first made famous by early blues recording stars Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell with their 1928 recording. Along with the soundtrack and live show video, the combo CD/DVD set features a 50 minute "all things Clarksdale" documentary filmed in the Delta and hosted and produced by Christopher Wyze. The bonus content film, “Wyze in Clarksdale,” takes viewers on a journey through musically historic Clarksdale and surrounds. Featuring the cinematography of Clarksdale filmmaker Coop Cooper, it includes a look at the fabled Crossroads, where Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the devil. It takes viewers for a visit to the historic train depot platform in nearby Tutwiler, where W.C. Handy first heard the blues in 1903.

75 years ago this week, Althea Gibson broke the color barrier at the U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championships, becoming the first Black player permitted to compete. Her boldness set the stage for continued change, opening the door for Arthur Ashe's groundbreaking Wimbledon title and her own three major titles in the years to come. We revisit several seminal moments in tennis history in this episode of the TennisWorthy podcast, original published in Feburary. Chris Bowers outlines these change-making moments and the forces behind them, and shares more about the mentor who supported Althea and Arthur along the way - Hall of Famer Dr. Robert Johnson.The International Tennis Hall of Fame thanks the Arthur Ashe Legacy at UCLA and Oral History Director Yolanda Hester for contributions to this episode:Mark Mathabane, interviewed by Yolanda Hester, Sept 4, 2020, for the Arthur Ashe Oral History Project an initiative of Arthur Ashe Legacy at UCLA.

We have the story and some examples of when I did the same thing for an audience just to prove how easy it is to do."

Robert started Stars & Satellites in the mid-2000s as a studio project, releasing 2007s Solutions before going on a hiatus due to work and life in general. He returned to recording a few years ago with a few singles before eventually transitioning to a live act around a year ago.Robert is currently working new singles and hitting stages around the Houston area where he's already making in-roads as an opening act for both local and touring artists. We had a great time talking about music from all vantage points and the path from covering Blink-182 at a talent show to performing as an adult. We also talk about A LOT of other stuff. Enjoy the episode, we'll be back in two weeks!

When most of us addicts wash up on the shores of recovery to say we've lost our way seems a gross understatement. The bottom has usually fallen out from under our lives. We feel utterly lost and painfully alone. The world we knew is gone and no new world has arrived to take its place. We need a map to orient us and a guide to help us find our way home.This is the world Jungian analyst Dr. James Hollis describes in his book “Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times.” It's likely an all too familiar world to most of us addicts. Hollis says not only are we lost, but the religious structures and cultural belief systems that supported yesterday's lost souls seem out of reach for many of today's men and women.The series describes this lost-world and how to access the “Inner Resilience” needed to find our way home. This episode draws on three major lessons Hollis learned over his many years of practicing and teaching depth psychology.Show notes:Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times by James Hollis, PhD.Robert Johnson's, Inner WorkThe Power of Two Way Prayer

We travel to the Mississippi Delta and the world of Lebanese immigrants, where barbecue and the blues meet kibbe, a kind of traditional Lebanese raw meatloaf. Lebanese immigrants began arriving in the Delta in the late 1800s, soon after the Civil War. Many worked as peddlers, then grocers and restaurateurs.Kibbe — a word and a recipe with so many variations. Ground lamb or beef mixed with bulgur wheat, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Many love it raw. However it's made, it's part of the glue that holds the Lebanese family culture together in the Mississippi Delta and beyond.We visit Pat Davis, owner of Abe's BAR-B-Q at the intersection of Highway 61 and 49 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the famed crossroads where, legend has it, blues icon Robert Johnson made a deal with the devil to play guitar better than anybody. Since 1924 Abe's has been known for it's barbecue, but if you know to ask, they've got grape leaves in the back.Chafik Chamoun, who owns Chamoun's Rest Haven on Highway 61, features Southern, Lebanese and Italian food — but he's best known for his Kibbe. Chafik arrived in Clarksdale from Lebanon in 1954, and first worked as a peddler selling ladies slips and nylon stockings.Sammy Ray, Professor Emeritus at Texas A&M University, Galveston, talks about growing up in a barbecue shack that his mother ran on the edge of what was then called “Black Town.” His father peddled dry goods to the Black sharecroppers.During the civil rights movement in the 1960s, Abe's BAR-B-Q and Chamoun's Rest Haven were some of the only restaurants in the area that would serve Black people. “We were tested in 1965,” Pat Davis remembers. “A bunch of Black kids went to all the restaurants on the highway and every one refused them except Chamoun's and my place. And everybody else got lawsuits against them.”The list of famous Lebanese Americans is long and impressive. Ralph Nader, Paul Anka, Dick Dale, Casey Kasem, Khalil Gibran and Vince Vaughn, to name a few. But the one most people talked about on our trip was Danny Thomas. Pat Davis took us out in the parking lot to listen to a CD that he just happened to have in his car of Danny Thomas singing in Arabic.“We called ourselves Syrians when we first came here,” Davis says. “And until Danny came and said he was Lebanese then we all began to realize we really are Lebanese and Danny Thomas can say it. So we're Lebanese now.”Produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva), mixed by Jim McKee, for the James Beard Award winning Hidden Kitchens series on NPR.The Kitchen Sisters Present is produced by The Kitchen Sisters with Nathan Dalton and Brandi Howell.

Send us a textJust before the pandemic started, Bevin Foley of Trout Steak Revival invited Melly Frances and Keenan Leigh to her house to share music and original songs. Both of the latter two had recently left their previous bands and had songs with the same obscure pre-World War II blues sound.Neither of them had ever met anyone else, let alone another female, interested in the same style of music, and the two clicked immediately.Frances plays bass, washboard, and percussion and she sings, and Leigh plays various forms of guitar. Leigh is primarily an instrumentalist and Frances is primarily known for her singing, so the two combined can complement each other perfectly.The two both knew and loved musicians such as Tampa Red, Memphis Minnie, Robert Johnson, Jessie May Hemphill, and Bessie Smith who heavily influenced their individual (and now collective) sound.

This conversation delves into the life and legacy of Robert Johnson, the legendary blues musician, and the myth surrounding his supposed deal with the devil at the crossroads. The discussion explores the origins of this myth, its implications in music history, and the broader cultural phenomenon of the 27 Club, where many famous musicians have died at the age of 27. The conversation also touches on theological perspectives regarding the soul and the historical figure of Faust, who is often associated with making deals with the devil. Ultimately, the dialogue navigates the line between truth and legend in the context of these enduring stories. 00:00 The Legacy of Robert Johnson05:21 The Crossroads Legend11:35 The Myth of Selling Your Soul20:59 The Mysterious Death of Robert Johnson27:29he Legend of Robert Johnson31:18 Historical Figures and the Devil's Pact40:16 The 27 Club: Fame and Early Death42:25 Theological Perspectives on Selling Your Soul49:03 Legends vs. Reality

In the evening of April 14, 1996, Edward Binion was shot in the head during a home invasion in Chicago, IL. After a series of arrests, since-disgraced Cook County Detectives William Moser and James O’Brien were led to 16-year-old Robert Johnson. Johnson was with his grandmother at the time of the shooting and no physical evidence implicated him. Nevertheless, he was convicted and sentenced to 80 years in prison.

In this episode of Please Me, Eve sits down with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care, for a raw, eye-opening conversation about the serious gaps in standard STI testing — and how his personal experience sparked a much-needed revolution in sexual health care. Robert shares how a routine STI panel — that came back negative — still left him unknowingly transmitting gonorrhea. That one moment revealed a much bigger problem in the way most doctors approach STI testing, especially when it comes to oral and asymptomatic infections. Together, Eve and Robert dive deep into: Why “full panel” testing often isn't full at all The shocking truth about oral gonorrhea and how often it's missed How the swinger and ethically non-monogamous communities approach safe sex — and where they fall short The stigma, controversy, and misunderstanding around herpes testing How Shameless Care is filling critical gaps left by traditional medical care The conversations we should be having with our partners before becoming sexually active PLUS: Robert shares valuable free resources that can help you advocate for comprehensive STI testing with your own doctor, even if you can't afford full at-home kits.

Fretless guitar pioneer NED EVETT is taking his new album — and his new signature-model Aluminati aluminum-necked fretless guitar — to Europe to rock just about every big city you can name over there in support of JOE SATRIANI and STEVE VAI's “SatchVai Band: Surfing with the Hydra” continent-spanning tour. And in this interview/jam, Ned shares exactly how he'll approach his solo sets opening for the two superstar guitar heroes. He also details songs from “Strange Kind of Freedom” (the aforementioned new album) as well as dives into his many influences — from rock to Indian ragas to folk to life-changing tunes by the Who and Robert Johnson — and relives what it was like to have guitar magician ADRIAN BELEW produce one of his albums. This episode is presented by Guitar Player and GuitarPlayer.com, and hosted by JUDE GOLD
In this hauntingly delicious episode, we descend into the blood-soaked, Southern gothic world of the film Sinners—a vampire story laced with folklore, crossroads magic, and protective witchcraft. From Robert Johnson's legendary deal with the Devil to real-life vampire lore, we explore the shadowy edges of horror and spellcraft. We cover ancient garlic rituals, vampiric goddesses like the Empusae and Lamia, and garlic's sacred link to Hekate. Plus: folklore from Romania, real historical vampire cases, and protective charm work you can use today.
