    Larry McCray is a talented blues guitarist who stands out for his unique sound. He draws inspiration from various styles, especially the classic Delta blues, which is known for its raw emotion and depth. You can hear hints of the legendary B.B. King in McCray's music. Just like King, McCray’s guitar playing is expressive, and his singing is filled with emotion, bringing that deep, soulful vibe that true blues fans love.

    What makes McCray special is that he doesn’t just replicate the past; he adds his own modern twist to the blues. He mixes traditional influences with contemporary themes and techniques, making his music both timeless and fresh. This blend of old and new allows him to tell stories that connect with today’s audience while still honoring the rich history of the blues. Overall, Larry McCray is a remarkable artist who keeps the spirit of the blues alive while pushing it in exciting new directions.

    "McCray’s latest album, *Heartbreak City*, features tracks like 'Try to Be a Good Man,' 'Heartbreak City,' 'Bye-Bye Blues,' 'Bright Side,' and 'I Knew What I've Done,' among others. Be sure to check it out on Spotify!"

    Well, gather ‘round, folks, because we’re diving into the soulful sounds of Bobby King and Terry Evans—a duo that set the stage ablaze in the early ‘70s and continued to captivate hearts well into the ‘90s! Now, we’re talking about a special kind of magic, blending gospel fervor with that irresistible R&B groove, a blend that made them not just singers but true purveyors of soul!

    Their album, *Live and Let Live!*, came out in 1988 and shows how great they are. It’s full of feelings, different beats, and lovely tunes. Even the famous Lou Reed liked it and included it in his “picks of 1989.” You know you have something special when big-name artists notice your talent!

    Now, why don’t we dive deep into the lyrics from the lyrics, *Live and Let Live!* It starts out with lines: "People going here and there. Mind wondering everywhere. Never giving life a second thought….” It’s a reflection of the hustle and bustle, the distractions of modern life. Bobby and Terry bring those words to life with their soulful harmonies, making us stop and think!

    You're listening to Podcast and Blues. I'm your host, Gail Nobles.

    Willie and Rosco helped many independent blues artists gain recognition. They received numerous requests to play their records on the radio. They stored records in Rosco’s old shed for sale and traveled from county to county, promoting and performing shows. They even owned their own airplane, which had "Blues 57” written on it.

    After some time, their airplane was spotted by someone. A man named Freddie approached Willie and Rosco, asking them to construct planes for him. He had purchased an old building with plans to convert it into an aircraft factory. Although other workers were present, Willie and Rosco took charge due to their superior knowledge and expertise. The airplanes they built were unmatched, far outclassing any others in the world. They showcased their creations at air shows, attracting many spectators eager to see the remarkable planes.

    As Willie and Rosco’s success grew, they became targets. A man from Russia sought to provoke conflict with them. One day, while testing their planes, the Russian man attempted to challenge them in the sky, launching missiles in their direction.

    Willie yelled: Hey! What’s happening! Who’s that shooting at us!
    Rosco: Man I don’t know! But he’s got to go!
