No one can compare to the great bluesman B.B. King, who died last week. But today we’re taking a moment to remember another artist who was a legend in his own right.
Last October, Here & Now’s Peter O’Dowd brought us a story about the Music Maker Relief Foundation in North Carolina. The group preserves and records Southern blues by supporting artists who are often aging and poor. One of the musicians he featured, the charismatic Captain Luke, also died last week.
