About this listen

 This week on Blues is the Truth the show has a real easy going feel, the kind you can sink into and just enjoy from start to finish. Hosted by Ian McHugh, it is one of those episodes where the playlist does a lot of the talking, moving smoothly between big names, deep roots and a few lovely surprises along the way.

The music this time comes from Gary Clark Jr, Gregg Allman, James Brown, Derek Trucks Band, The Steady Rollin’ Revue, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters 100 with James Cotton, Paul Garner Trio, Taj Mahal, Billy Price, Albert Castiglia, RL Burnside, Devon Allman, Burning Rope, Andy Fairweather Low, Pee Wee Crayton, Too Slim and the Taildraggers, BB King and Clarence Gatemouth Brown.

There is a great sense of flow through this episode, from gritty blues and southern soul to groove heavy moments and tracks that just make you smile when they come on. It feels like a shared listening session rather than a show that is trying too hard, and that is very much the point.

If you fancy an hour or two with music you trust, artists you love and a few tracks you might want to go back to again, this one is well worth your time. Stick it on, make yourself comfortable and enjoy the journey.
