This week on Blues At Sunrise, DJ Smokehouse Brown interviews Texas bluesman Rob Roy Parnell. Parnell, the brother of early-90's country star Lee Roy Parnell, has kept his feet firmly planted in Texas blues a la Smokin’ Joe Kubek, Bnois King, and Mike Morgan. Tune in for the lowdown on Parnell's new record, Let's Start Something on Blues Rocket Records.

It all goes down on Blues At Sunrise, this Wednesday June 25th from 7-9 AM on KVRX 91.7 FM and www.kvrx.org.

Gary Primich, one of the world's greatest blues harmonica players, singers, and songwriters, passed away on September 23rd. Not only was he one of the blues' finest talents, he was also a wonderful musical tutor and friend to me. I was introduced to his music many years before moving to Austin, and always jumped at the chance to see him perform when he toured through California. I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to get to know him over the last two years here in Austin.
