On this program, Page’s Kitchen opens up the screen door to a roving band of bluesmen led by Texas guitarist Anson Funderburgh and featuring the dynamic Sam Myers on harmonica and lead vocals. Sam joined Anson and his Rockets in 1986 and they hold 9 distinguished W.C. Handy blues awards including three for Band of the Year. Get set for a solid sit down recorded in the fall of 1990 as JAMinc presents Page’s Kitchen…the Swamp Sessions with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets featuring the late Sam Myers.
For your listening pleasure and historical perspective, JAMinc is proud to present the full 35-program season of Page’s Kitchen…the Swamp Sessions as previously aired on VPM Music and The Breeze. These Americana allstars appeared on the late Page Wilson’s Out O’ The Blue Radio Revue some three decades ago. They were all live, one-take recordings made in various Richmond studios at the time and stand as a fitting tribute to those artists and to Page for having the taste, drive and gumption to lure them into his make-believe lair, deep in the Chickahominy Swamp. We’re deeply grateful to Jude Schlotzhauer and Virginia Blue Wilson for entrusting us with these priceless master tapes and to Guy Spiller and Charlie Reilly for carefully converting them from analog to digital. Sincere thanks to our loyal sponsors: Digital Video Group, the Scott Street Family and the members of VPM.
