 🎙️ Blues is the Truth – New Episode Out Now! 🎶

The blues is back and so is Ian McHugh, guiding you through another hour (and then some!) of the finest blues sounds from across the decades on this week’s episode of Blues is the Truth.

This week’s show kicks off with the searing guitar of Otis Rush and doesn’t let up, with deep Delta vibes from The Jelly Roll Kings, timeless power from BB King, and raw soul from Barrett Strong.

Modern magic is well represented too, with the incredible Derek Trucks Band, the high-energy sounds of Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, the fierce fire of Larkin Poe, and the soulful touch of Benny Turner.

There’s emotional intensity from Bobby Messano, killer phrasing from Gary Moore, and deep Chicago grit from Lurrie Bell. Too Slim and the Taildraggers bring some edge, while Deborah Coleman and Breezy Rodio offer up their own unique and powerful takes on the blues.

We’ve got harmonica brilliance from Giles Robson, powerhouse vocals from Jackie Scott and the Housewreckers, and something special from Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton, blending jazz and blues with elegance and style.

The legends are here too—Albert King, Muddy Waters, and Elmore James all make appearances to remind us where it all began, while the late, great Jo Ann Kelly brings things full circle with her unforgettable voice.

This one’s loaded with feeling, energy, and some unexpected gems—perfect for long-time fans and new listeners alike.
