Lucky Old Souls is two hours of the hottest, swingin-est jazz and R&B tracks from back in the day... and I mean back in the day, as in 50, 60, 70+ years ago. The best jazz, pop standards, blues of all kinds, early rock & roll, songs that were hits, and songs that should have been hits. 

Today?  Music from Arthur Alexander, Robert Johnson, Sam Rivers, Ben Schachter, and more...

And check out Feldie's live music picks for the week on the Philly blog uwishunu.
