About this listen

It’s time for another journey through the heart and soul of the blues on Blues is the Truth, hosted by Ian McHugh. This week’s episode delivers a fresh and fiery mix of timeless legends and modern masters, with all the regular features you love—plus a spotlight on the inimitable Blues Driver section presented by Paul Michal, bringing you high-octane blues every week.

On the playlist this time around: the raw power of Albert King, the soulful picking of Muireann Bradley, the spiritual swagger of Reverend Freakchild, and the deep London groove of Errol Linton. We’ve also got Joe Bonamassa delivering his signature style, Brooks Williams with his smooth Americana-blues blend, and Andrea De Luca holding down the contemporary Italian blues scene.

Bob Stroger and The Headcutters give us a taste of classic Chicago tones, while Lachy Doley shakes the room with his powerhouse organ work. There’s slide-driven fire from Dave Arcari, timeless licks from T-Bone Walker, and some British humour and grit from The British Bluescasting Corporation.

Jimmie Rogers and Lowell Fulson roll back the years, David M’ore brings some serious edge, Cathy Lemons adds smoky soul, and Jerron Paxton continues to charm with his rootsy authenticity. Bywater Call brings soaring vocals and searing guitar, Ian McHugh gets in on the act himself, Samantha Fish turns it up as only she can, and Amy Helm brings soulful serenity. Rounding things out are Travellin’ Blue and the always electric Ruzz Guitar’s Blues Revue.

Whether you’re a blues purist or a curious newcomer, this episode has something to lift your spirit and stir your soul. Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and review the podcast wherever you listen. Your support keeps the blues alive and well!
