Xpress brings you this weekly feature — direct from the DJs — highlighting a few of the station's stellar offerings. www.ashevillefm.org. Blue Ridge Blues is a road trip to the heart of the blues, a two-hour Greyhound ride through the Mississippi Delta, New Orleans, Chicago and London — anywhere there's a story to be told and a song to sing it with. The program covers all kinds of blues (acoustic, roots, electric, English, blues-rock) from artists like BB King, John Mayall, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Hammond, Albert King, John Lee Hooker and many more.
