Blues is the Truth 753

This week’s Blues is the Truth is a celebration of deep grooves, killer guitar work, and soulful storytelling, with your host Ian McHugh guiding the journey as always. There’s no shortage of legends and modern heroes on the playlist – from the powerhouse energy of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band to the unmistakable swagger of Freddie King and BB King. You’ll hear soul-drenched cuts from Chad Strentz, Bobby Rush, and Esther Phillips, while the grit and fire come courtesy of Joanna Connor, Johnny Lang, and Matt Schofield. There’s a killer collaboration between Joe Louis Walker, Bruce Katz and Giles Robson, some high-octane blues from Mondo Cortez and the Chicago Blues Angels, and tight grooves from Micke Bjorklof and Blue Strip. Robert Hokum brings the local flavour, while Howlin’ Wolf, The Kinsey Report and John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers represent the deep blues roots. Also featured this week are Tad Robinson, Eugene Hideaway Bridges, Philipp Fankhauser, the Lachey Doley Group, Leeroy Parnell, The Too Bad Jims, Plas Johnson, and a standout track from rising star D.K. Harrell. It’s a full-on ride through blues past, present, and future—don’t miss a moment.
