No, not the game, that would be boring. Marshall Chess, from the Chess family who founded the Chicago blues music record label Chess Records, has signed with SIRIUS to host a new weekly blues music program.
"The Chess Records Hour" will air each Sunday at 12pm ET (encores: Tuesday at 5pm ET) on SIRIUS Blues (ch 74).
Featuring classic Chess recordings and stories from the heyday of the Chicago blues scene, Marshall Chess will share his knowledge of the music that played an important role in rock and roll history.
Chess grew up working in the independent record business alongside his father, Leonard Chess, and uncle, Phil Chess, founders of Chess Records, and later served as its president. He also formed Rolling Stones Records and ran it for seven years, among other labels and film projects he’s been involved with over the years.
Chess also served as a producer on albums by such legendary artists as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Fleetwood Mac and Otis Spann, and Minnie Riperton, among others.
Aw...I saw this on the RSS and thought it was the musical "Chess".
"One night in Bangkok and the world's..."
Great move for SIRI. SIRI's blues channel is really weak on traditional blues and this will give the channel some badly-needed balance.
