We open this week with a short tribute to the late John Hammond — a player who stayed true to the roots and never overplayed it. A couple of his tracks to get things underway.

After that, it’s a well-balanced set — a mix of older cuts, newer releases, and a strong Australian showing. You’ll hear Dan Dinnen N Shorty, Julian James N Moonshine State, Jen Mize N Rough N Tumble, Greg Numan N The General Jacksons, Shane O’Mara N Jac Tonks, Shane Pacey, Catch 23 and Van Walker alongside the internationals.

We move through hill country with Junior Kimbrough, some clean Texas swing from Jimmy Vaughan, and a bit of groove from Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. There are also a couple of pre-release tracks worth a listen.

It’s a steady run — blues and roots as you like it!
