Raw voices. Killer guitars. No algorithms — just real blues.

Blues From The Ouse — the UK blues podcast and independent blues radio show — returns with a powerhouse two-hour journey through the very best of modern and classic blues.

In this week’s episode (#308), Paul and Ben open with a stack of brand-new blues releases, including Altered Five Blues Band, Reckless & Blue, Drew Neirin and Ross Harding.

The show then moves into “Voices That Cut” — a soul-deep collection of blues singers who don’t just perform the blues, they live it. Featuring legendary names like Koko Taylor, Buddy Guy, Shemekia Copeland and Mavis Staples, this segment delivers raw emotion, grit and timeless power.

Next comes “When The Guitar Does All The Talking”, with iconic six-string moments from Gary Moore, Matt Schofield, Joe Bonamassa and John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers.

Hour two is driven by listener requests you won’t find on any Spotify playlist, including rare blues cuts from Motörhead, Doctor Ross, Joe Louis Walker, Home Cooked Blues and Alice Armstrong.

You’ll also hear highlights from last weekend’s Winter Blues Weekender in North Shields, plus UK blues favourites Paul Lamb & The King Snakes and Mississippi MacDonald.

The show winds down with a beautifully atmospheric closing set from The 2:19, Ian Siegal, Rebecca Downs and Neil Sadler, who will be joining us live in the studio very soon.

Modern blues, classic blues, UK blues and deep-cut blues — all in one place.

Every track in this episode is hand-picked — no algorithms, no auto-playlists, just real blues.
