Jawbone #102: An Evening with Olga and Jimbo

On tonight's episode, Jawbone travels to Memphis to meet up with Blues Music's First Couple, Olga and Jim "Jimbo" Mathus. Olga is a soulful, blues performer from the Deep South. She happens to be married to Jimbo, a talented artist who was the former frontman, writer and founder of the legendary band Squirrel Nut Zippers. We talk about Olga's music, her album "Now Is The Time" and Jimbo's history with the Zippers. Break out the sweet tea, pull up a rocking chair and come and enjoy some good old fashioned delta blues.
