🎙️ Blues is the Truth – New Episode Out Now! 🎶

Your weekly journey into the heart of the blues is here, and host Ian McHugh has put together another stellar mix of classic cuts and fresh discoveries in this new episode of Blues is the Truth.

This week’s show features soul-drenched grooves from Johnny Rawls, powerful British blues from The Terraplanes Blues Band, and guitar fire from icons like Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, John Mayall, and the mighty Freddie King.

The soulful sounds of Emma Wilson, the raw vocal power of Misty Blues, and the smooth tones of Johnny Ray Jones bring heart to the set, while Andrew Duncanson adds depth and feel.

There’s deep southern swamp from Slim Harpo, gritty street corner blues from Stray Cat Willie and the Strays, and harmonica magic courtesy of Charlie Musselwhite. Modern UK blues rock is represented by Jimmy Regal and the Royals and John Doe Trio, while Texas swagger comes courtesy of The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

You’ll also hear the classic tones of Little Bobby, laid-back acoustic brilliance from Micke & Lefty feat. Chef, and powerful vocals from Monika Nordii. Dove and Boweevil bring a soulful edge, Freddie Pate lays down some smooth country blues, and Henrik Freischlader injects fiery fretwork.

And rounding out the set is the unmistakable sound of Jimmy Reed—a true blues pioneer whose influence still runs deep.

Whether you’re new to the blues or a lifelong fan, this episode is packed with everything from deep soul to gritty guitar-led stompers.
