Rock Solid Foundation #29 16/08/2026 - Intermutual Expressions

Rock & Roll didn’t, and doesn’t, appear out of nowhere. There are many genres, cultures, histories, and ironically traditions that came before and continue to exert influence. These influences contain various threads that I’ll follow each week to reveal connections and relationships between the popular music of today and the music of other times and places. This show investigates the oral traditions essential to blues and related musical forms by pairing tracks which demonstrate the borrowing and reworking of lyrics across Delta Blues, Vaudeville Blues, Hot Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Funk, Rock and Zydeco.
