🎙️ Blues is the Truth – New Episode Out Now!

This week’s Blues is the Truth with your host Ian McHugh is bursting with top-drawer blues from across the decades, with a mix of fresh cuts, underground favourites, and stone-cold classics to keep your week moving in the right direction.

You’ll hear the powerhouse energy of Big Dave and the Dutchman, vintage magic from Jerry Portnoy and the Streamliners, and raw UK talent from The Terraplanes Blues Band and the brilliant Emma Wilson. There’s deep soul from The Rev Douglas, gritty Chicago grooves courtesy of Linsey Alexander, and stylish fire from Matt Schofield and Pat West.

Phil Coyne and the Wayward Aces bring a jumpin’ energy to the party, while The Knickerbocker All-Stars and Larry McCray keep things tight and soulful. From the blues-rich streets of Texas and beyond, we’ve got the electrifying Mondo Cortez and The Chicago Blues Angels, the raw stomp of Deep Six Blues, and legendary sounds from Otis Rush and John Lee Hooker.

Adding extra depth are the unmistakable tones of Paul Personne, dazzling fretwork from Kirk Fletcher, and the acoustic touch of Bill Filipiak. The John Amor Blues Band packs a punch, while Drew and Ellie Holcomb offer something a little different with rootsy warmth. Classic vibes from Fleetwood Mac and deep blues grit from Tab Benoit round things off, alongside a cut from Neil Sadler to bring it all home.
