It’s a certifiable all-star line-up on this week’s show with performances by acclaimed soul troop Robert Cray Band, gospel legends The Blind Boys of Alabama, blues torchbearer John Hammond, and Dumpstaphunk, recorded in Charleston, W.Va. on March 23, 2014.
Led by keyboardist and vocalist Ivan Neville, New Orleans based funk outfit Dumpstaphunk showcased their instrumental prowess and unmatched liveliness when they appeared on Mountain Stage in 2014. Our Song of the Week is their performance of the title track of their 2010 album Everybody Want Sum.
Hear the entire performance, which also includes songs from their 2013 album Dirty Word, on this week’s Listeners’ Choice episode of Mountain Stage with Larry Groce, airing on these stations starting Friday May 22.
