RoadRunners The RoadRunners, a six-man aggregation of seasoned blues enthusiasts, have the sound of the early 50's jump blues and R&B down so cold that it's downright scary. It's a time-warp performance, heavy on the sounds and stylings of Big Joe, T-Bone, McCracklin, Milburn, and Wynonnie, with discreet attention to authenticity. If you dance, one spin of this disc will convince you that, indeed, your ship has come in. Let the boogie woogie roll !!
