It's time for another journey through the heart and soul of the blues on Blues is the Truth, hosted by Ian McHugh. This week's episode delivers a fresh and fiery mix of timeless legends and modern masters, with all the regular features you love—plus a spotlight on the inimitable Blues Driver section presented by Paul Michal, bringing you high-octane blues every week. On the playlist this time around: the raw power of Albert King, the soulful picking of Muireann Bradley, the spiritual swagger of Reverend Freakchild, and the deep London groove of Errol Linton. We've also got Joe Bonamassa delivering his signature style, Brooks Williams with his smooth Americana-blues blend, and Andrea De Luca holding down the contemporary Italian blues scene. Bob Stroger and The Headcutters give us a taste of classic Chicago tones, while Lachy Doley shakes the room with his powerhouse organ work. There's slide-driven fire from Dave Arcari, timeless licks from T-Bone Walker, and some British humour and grit from The British Bluescasting Corporation. Jimmie Rogers and Lowell Fulson roll back the years, David M'ore brings some serious edge, Cathy Lemons adds smoky soul, and Jerron Paxton continues to charm with his rootsy authenticity. Bywater Call brings soaring vocals and searing guitar, Ian McHugh gets in on the act himself, Samantha Fish turns it up as only she can, and Amy Helm brings soulful serenity. Rounding things out are Travellin' Blue and the always electric Ruzz Guitar's Blues Revue. Whether you're a blues purist or a curious newcomer, this episode has something to lift your spirit and stir your soul. Don't forget to subscribe, share, and review the podcast wherever you listen.

Lloyd will be in Israel, but agreed to call into the show to discuss his continuing journey in the Blues World and to speak in-depth about his newest release. The Lucky Losers are Cathy Lemons and Phil Berkowitz and they released the album Winning Hand earlier this year.  Co-produced by Lemon and Berkowitz alongside Kid Andersen, the album contains 6 originals and 6 specially selected covers. I will speak with the pair and find out how their musical paths intersected and where they are heading in the future. Couch Kid New Music #1 - Anthony Paule last visited to talk about his other project, The Hound Kings.  Tonight he visits to share the latest release from The Bey Paule Band, Not Goin’ Away, the third album for this talented pair. He and I will discuss all that is going on in his life and talk about the new recording. Couch Kid New Music #2 - Long Tall Deb returns to bring us the new album she and her band featuring Couch Kid Colin John will be releasing, Street Of Mumbai. This album was born after the band traveled to India last year.  Can’t wait to share this one with y’all.

This edition of The Roadhouse might challenge you to think differently about the blues … or not. I've got some surprises, a set dedicated to one seminal blues artist and some tracks that are a little off the beaten blues path. D.A. Foster, Shaun Murphy, Cathy Lemons, Odetta, and Tangled Eye lead the way in this 525th hour of The Roadhouse, and 525th hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

A contemporary vein runs through this edition of The Roadhouse, with nearly all new tracks. Cathy Lemons, Robert Cray, Walter Horton, Pinetop Perkins, and Mikey Junior should keep you moving for 60 minutes. And, of course, it is 60 minutes of the finest blues you've never heard - the 474th Roadhouse.

Blues singer Cathy Lemons talks about her love of the blues, addictions, redemption, and the future with Bill Henderson
