Here is the complete list
of Blues Music Award winners (final)
The Blues Music Awards
represented just one of the many highlights of the Blues Foundation’s exciting
Blues Music Week. The festivities kicked off May 8th with its Blues Hall of
Fame induction ceremony.
The BHOF 40th class included the iconic singer Aretha Franklin, the renowned composer/pianist/bandleader Count Basie, 1920s-era blues queen Ida Cox, influential guitarist Pee Wee Crayton, and the revered Memphis-based band Booker T. & the MG’s. In a moving moment, MG’s guitarist and Memphis music legend Steve Cropper represented his band at the induction ceremony. “We didn’t see color over at Stax,” he said in a short but emotionally charged acceptance speech. “We were family.”
