This week’s edition is the second part of my look back at some of my favourite albums which arrived at La Maison de Blues Numérique during 2023 with all bar three of the 15 tracks played coming from Europe. Not everyone will think it is blues. All I know is that I love it! Hope you do too!

Let’s celebrate good music and good times with tracks from Dom Martin, The Cadillac Kings, Boogie Boys, Cat Squirrel, Denis Agenet & Nolapsters, The Cinelli Brothers, Noa & the Helldrinkers, Bywater Call, Emma Wilson, Liza Ohlback, Veronica Sbergia, Women In Blues - Rita Engadalen & Margit Bakken, King Size Slim, Sunnysiders and 11 Guys Quartet

This year I received well over 300 albums from around the world and I send my thanks to everybody who took the trouble to send material to me. I do appreciate it and especially appreciate that you are willing to do so.

As is my wont at this time of year, this week’s show is the first part of a look back over some of my favourite albums which arrived at La Maison de Blues Numérique during 2023. It was very hard to narrow it down to select the 14 tracks I play in this edition of Digital Blues. Is it blues? Is it roots? Is it world music? All I know is that I love it! Hope you do too!
