Reporting locale: Seattle, Washington

The Blues concludes with a look into blues future.  Reporting from Experience Music Project in Seattle, where a major retrospective on the blues is underway via the exhibit, “Sweet Home Chicago,” interviews with Martin Scorsese, executive producer of The Blues television series, blues curator Jim Fricke of EMP, Art Tipaldi, author of “Children of the Blues,” and Robert Gordon, author of “Can’t Be Satisfied,” predictions for what path the blues will follow in the 21st century are examined.  We will look at the emergence of Acid Blues from performers such as Moby, Rick Holmstrom, and the Fat Possum line-up.  A wrap-up of “Year of the Blues” and some “new” blues from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion end the program.
