RadioCPR2A whole lot of Chess Records classics tonight, to celebrate the legacy of the classic Chicago blues label’s co-founder, Phil Chess, who died this week at 95. Heard a few Rolling Stones recordings they cut there as well.

Started with a salute to guitarist Steve Cropper who turned 75 today and noted what would have been the 70th birthday of Lux Interior, the lead singer of the Cramps who died in 2009 at 62. Also a bit from Emmylou Harris who was in town playing a benefit show earlier tonight.

Here’s what I played on the radio tonight:
