23 Blues is the Truth 791

The new episode of Blues is the Truth is now live, hosted by Ian McHugh and supported by the wonderful Tuesday night Blues Jam at the Rising Sun in Isleworth. This week’s show is a beautiful journey through the heart and soul of the blues, bringing together legends, pioneers, and artists who are carrying the music forward today.

You will hear the unmistakable partnership of Smokin’ Joe Kubeck and Bnois King, the raw energy of Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials, and the timeless brilliance of Savoy Brown and Traffic. There is deep blues feeling from BB King and Lowell Fulson, Elmore James, King Curtis, and Mike Bloomfield, alongside modern voices like Mississippi MacDonald, Mike Ross, Larkin Poe, and Gary Clark Jr, all proving just how alive this music remains.

There are wonderful moments too from JJ Grey and Mofro, Rufus Thomas, Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, Rory Block, Mad Dog Lester Davenport, The Steady Rolling Revue, Dave Kelly, Muddy What?, Professor’s Blues Review, and Paul Boddy, each bringing their own voice and spirit to the show. And of course, no episode would be complete without the unmistakable presence of Buddy Guy, reminding us why the blues continues to inspire generation after generation.

Settle in, turn it up, and enjoy the journey.
