    The latest episode of Blues is the Truth is live, hosted as always by Ian McHugh and proudly sponsored by the Tuesday Night Blues Jam at the Rising Sun, Isleworth. This week’s show is packed with the regular features you love, plus some very special news — there’s gig news to share and details of a brand new festival being planned in tribute to the late, great Robert Hokum.

    The music is as rich and varied as ever. You’ll hear the guitar mastery of Duke Robillard, the unforgettable partnership of Monster Mike Welch and Mike Ledbetter, and the soulful fire of Larry McCray. Blues royalty is in the spotlight with tracks from BB King, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the one and only Muddy Waters.

    The British scene is well represented too, with the Chris Corcoran Trio, Robert Hokum and Devil Drives, Connie Lush, Michael Messer, Dave Kelly, Kai Strauss, and Chris Youlden and the Slammers all stepping up to the plate. You’ll also catch standout performances from Doyle Bramhall II, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, The Forty4s, John Lee Hooker, Coco Montoya, and the team-up of Jimmie Vaughan and Omar Kent Dykes.

    It’s a show that mixes legends with modern greats, delivers plenty of news alongside the music, and celebrates the very best in blues from both sides of the Atlantic.

    The new episode of Blues is the Truth, hosted by Ian McHugh and proudly sponsored by the Tuesday Night Blues Jam at the Rising Sun, Isleworth, is ready to roll.

    This week’s show features a huge spread of blues. You’ll hear the power and passion of Bernard Allison, the soulful fire of Earl Thomas, and brand-new sounds from Tom Hambridge. There’s wit and charm from Andy Twyman, and a dose of guitar royalty from Eric Clapton.

    The groove keeps flowing with Benny Turner and Cash McCall, Latin spice from Santana, and deep cuts from Brother Ray Lemolin and the Matinee Kings alongside the Joel Dupuis Band. The classics stand tall too, with Muddy Waters, the red-hot fretwork of Monster Mike Welch, and stylish performances from Jacques Peña and Chris Vincent and the Raw Deals.

    The late, great Lucky Peterson makes an appearance, joined by the smooth tones of Chad Strentz, acoustic intensity from John Hammond, and the full-tilt sound of Otis Grand. Add in BB and the Bullets, Lil’ Red and the Rooster, heartfelt songs by Scott Low, and the mighty Quintus McCormick Blues Band, and you’ve already got a feast. To top it all off, the show closes with three legends together: Albert Collins, Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland.

    It’s two hours of blues in every shade — modern, classic, soulful, electric, acoustic — and you don’t want to miss it.
