Meister distinguishes himself with excellent writing in this essay delivered over a collage of Snooky Pryor's music. The thirty-year WXPN veteran gives us a nice, short history lesson with a narrative that's engaging, even for non-blues-fans. There's a great moment mid-way through this piece when we hear a recording of a few words to the audience from Snooky Pryor on one of his old albums. If you check out Jonny Meister's PRX profile, you'll find a lot of other good stuff, too --- he has more than a hundred and sixty pieces uploaded to PRX!
