“Historic” is a term that is woefully over-used, but it certainly applies to one of the sessions you'll hear this week- the Dixie Hummingbirds live in Studio B in 2006. The music is moving, and so is the conversation with Hummingbirds leader and gospel music pioneer Ira Tucker, who passed away less than two years after this session. We'll also hear some western swing from the Hot Club of Cowtown in Studio B in 2014, and we'll listen to last week's smokin' set from the Legendary Shack Shakers as well.
