The Grapevine shines the spotlight on Rufus Thomas and his colorful and soulful sounds. Included in the broadcast is a really cool interview conducted by Nick Spitzer that gives Rufus a little room to "tell it like it is". All the tunes you'll hear were recorded in Memphis on the almighty Stax label...real good stuff from some real good folks!
Here's Rufus running through a great version of "Do The Funky Chicken" at the WattStax Festival in 1972:
