WZLX HD-2 flips to all Blues

E

Eli Polonsky

WZLX has just flipped their HD-2 signal from "Lost Classics & Deep Tracks" to "Radio Mojo", all Blues.

As much as I love the Blues and feel that it should be on the radio, I'm a little bummed because I enjoyed "Lost Classics & Deep Tracks". I grew up listening to the heyday of progressive "underground" early AOR radio in the late '60s on the early WBCN and also WAAF and WCOZ in the '70s, and "Lost Classics" dug out lots of great album tracks that were played on those stations in that era that regular Classic Rock stations (such as WZLX's main signal) haven't touched for years.

I guess I'll have to go back to listening to archives of my own show on WMBR if I want to hear that stuff again! Or, get satellite radio, or listen to some internet-only stations of variable quality.

Also, I've been listening to this "Radio Mojo" for a half-hour now, and I haven't heard any genuine black blues artists, just white rock blues. Of course, some of them (Clapton, etc...) became greats, but if you're going to play blues, let's not completely forget about Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, etc...
 
starting to feel really good about putting the 240 bucks I would have spent on the HD radio kit for my plow truck into powder coating the wheels on my rice bike.
