King Records 7.1-Our Final Episode on King Records

Blues You Should Know Podcast presents our final  (yes, I mean it this time) program on the music of King Records, Ohio's great eclectic record label. There was just too much great music, and too many great artists left over, so we offer one more program we're calling King Records 7.1. Hear blues from Champion Jack Dupree, & Baby Boy Warren, jazz from Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Do-Wop from Linda Hays & the Platters & Otis Williams, rockabilly from Charlie Feathers & Hardrock Gunter, and more! Plus, some final words on the legacy of King Records and some great stories about King's founder and president Syd Nathan. Seven parts just couldn't contain all the great music that came out of King Records so here is part 7.1
