Ronnie Earl, a four-time Blues Music Award winner as “Guitar Player of the Year,” follows up the critical and commercial success of his last album, Rise Up, with Mercy Me, a new set of wondrous music with his long-time band, The Broadcasters, on  April 15 via Stony Plain Records. Mercy Me will also be released later this summer on vinyl LP.

With five GRAMMYs, 14 Blues Foundation Awards, and a groundbreaking career spanning nearly 50 years under his belt, Keb’ Mo’s got nothing left to prove. Just don’t tell him that.

Chicago-based singer-songwriter-pianist Neal Francis appeared on CBS This Morning's "Saturday Sessions" today, performing "Can't Stop The Rain," "Problems," and "Alameda Apartments" from his critically acclaimed latest album, In Plain Sight (ATO).
