Alphablues: Letter N… as in Night

Alphablues continues its season 2 with a new chapter dedicated to the Night, a central character in blues and soul. The show, hosted by Paco, features in each episode an alphabetical theme illustrated with standards and rarities, told through anecdotes and translations.

New episode: Season 2 #14

The episode “N for Night” takes us from melancholy insomnia to sultry club lights, between urban wanderings and dancefloor fever.

⏬ In this episode

• Albert King – I Walked All Night Long: the nighttime walk of a yearning heart.
• Eric Clapton – Blues Before Sunrise (Leroy Carr): blues before dawn, when solitude speaks.
• Aretha Franklin – Night Life: the night as a mirror of temptations and regrets.
• Tina Turner – Night Time Is the Right Time: power and sensuality, the night becomes a place for love.
• Dr. John – Such a Night: New Orleans mysteries, voodoo groove and a moon in on it.
