Shownotes
Join Kelvin Huggins as he dives deep into the tangled roots and resonant echoes of November 2nd in blues history.
On this date across decades, three blues-infused legacies took shape—one faded gently, one burned briefly, and one exploded in electric color. In this reflective episode of Blues Moments in Time, host Kelvin Huggins traces the quiet brilliance of Mississippi John Hurt, whose fingerpicked melodies whispered through Avalon and into the folk revival; the haunting voice of Eva Cassidy, whose posthumous rise turned a nursery worker into a global songbird; and the genre-bending release of Cream’s Disraeli Gears, a psychedelic storm rooted in Delta soil.
Through archival sounds, poetic narration, and deep musical insight, we explore how the blues stretches across lifetimes and genres—sometimes heard too late, sometimes felt forever. These stories remind us that legacy doesn’t follow a schedule, and that the blues, in all its forms, keeps echoing through the airwaves.
