    Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Current Blues Alive. Sugar Ray Rayford has a new single out entitled Human Decency. That's the title of his new single according to sugarrayrayford.com. The title track is a simple reminder that our similarities are more substantial than our differences, and in the end, there is no black or white or left or right. There are only hearts and minds. Now that is the truth. I love the new single Human Decency. It is a powerhouse single.

    I call Rayford the message man. When you've got Rayford, that's what you got. He has a powerful voice and sound to carry it out. Rayford is a combination of sounds. He combines classic soul melodies and funky R&B blues together.

    You've got to hear the album. If you’re searching for some great blues of today, I know that Sugaray Rayford is the man. The blues soul man. The message man. The Grammy nominated soul blues singing man. Sugaray Rayford is the man you want to hear. Thank you for listening to Current Blues Alive.

    Joanne Shaw Taylor has a single entitled Someone Like You. It's a beautiful soulful single from her 2024 album Heavy Soul.


    Joanne is an English singer and guitarist. Her genre is blues rock. She primarily uses Fender telecaster electric guitars. She has a beautiful voice. I love the way she sings Someone Like You and the way she plays the guitar.

    The song is written by Van Morrison. I thought I kind of recognized his style a little bit. Joanne has an awesome songwriter. He wrote a song just right for her. The lyrics, the music, and her voice is all awesome work.

    To learn more about Joanne Shaw Taylor, go to Joanneshawtaylor.com. You can learn about her music, videos, and more. I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Current Blues Alive.
