Scope and Contents
The Collection on the House of Blues Radio Hour (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Collection) consists of 383 compact disc recordings of the program, a weekly radio show produced by Ben Manila and initially distributed by CBS Radio. The show began in 1993 and is hosted by Dan Aykroyd (aka Elwood Blues). The shows in this collection span 1994 to 1998, and there are two compact discs for each show in most cases. Each show includes associated documents, including a printed program that lists the songs and commercial broadcast schedule, and, in some cases, promotional materials and correspondence. "Elwood's New Years Bash," "Elwood's Summertime Blues," "Elwood's Blues Fest," and "Red, White and the Blues" are special episodes of the program. Those recordings titled "House of Blues Breaks" include commercial spots advertising the show that were played the week before the show aired. The House of Blues Radio Hour Collection is arranged by format and then chronologically.
