Little Joe Washington Boondocks	Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm	Montrose	Music
On his second album for Austin's Dialtone Records (following 2003's Houston Guitar Blues), the blues flows so effortlessly out of Little Joe Washington's guitar it's hard to believe any of these 14 songs needed more than one take. Washington's feverish runs and penetrating leads - which fly by... More >>
