A Voice Built for the Blues: Big Llou Johnson
About this episode
The episode features Big Llou Johnson discussing his career and experiences in the Blues music scene.
This week, Time Signatures with Jim Ervin celebrates another amazing season finale’ with arguably the most recognizable voice in the Blues, Big Llou Johnson. You will recognize his resonant tones if you listen to SiriusXM’s B.B. King’s Bluesville, but he also hosts events in Memphis during the BMA’s and he hosts a kickoff party in Chicago the week of Blues Fest! Llou came to visit with a bundle of great stories from his early years in Chicago, including his foundation of the only black-owned business of its kind back then (the talent agency), and his conversation with Bill Wax that led him to more than 25 years serving as the voice of Bluesville. Oh….yeah…..you will also note that he is now the voice of Time Signatures with Jim Ervin, too! “Shucky Ducky!” Website: https://www.bigllou.com/ Golden Voice Audio Foundation: https://goldenvoiceaudio.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/biglloujohnson Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5O0jMfta6bIkog87GWvvi9?si=J1kISE3tRqeivKmraMrADg YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@bigllou _________________________ Facebook: Time Signatures YouTube: Time Signatures Facebook: Capital Area Blues Society Website: Capital Area Blues Society…
