About this listen

 The new episode of Blues is the Truth is up now, hosted as always by Ian McHugh and kindly supported by the Tuesday night Blues Jam at the Rising Sun in Isleworth. This week there is something genuinely special, with not one but two world exclusive first plays from the Paul Michael Band. Brand new music, heard here first, and a real privilege to share it with you.

Alongside those exclusives, the show travels through the roots and branches of the blues, from the unmistakable sound of Junior Wells and Big Bill Broonzy, through to the modern fire of When Rivers Meet, Burning Rope and Thomas Heppell. There is soul and feeling from Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal, Kyla Brox, Nicole Hart and Percy Sledge, and timeless class from Eric Clapton, BB King and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

You will also hear Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes, Marcus Bonfanti, Brooks Williams and Aaron Catlow, Michael Messer, Andy Watts with Joe Louis Walker, Mad Dog Lester Davenport, Farmhand, The Untouchables, Voodoo Men, and more. It all comes together in the way Blues is the Truth always does, with great music, real feeling, and that sense of discovery that keeps the blues alive.
