  • Resumen

  • The latest edition of the "Blues is the Truth" podcast is a heartfelt tribute to the legendary John Mayall, who recently passed away. Hosted by the ever-knowledgeable Ian McHugh, this episode is filled with the rich, soulful blues that Mayall championed throughout his life. As always, the show includes all the regular features that listeners have come to love, including the “Title Track Tango” and the "Blues Driver," where Paul Michael picks out some of the best blues tracks that drive the genre forward.

    In addition to celebrating Mayall’s immense contributions to the blues, this episode features tracks from the charity album "Rivers of Blues," created in memory of the late Mike Rivers. This album showcases a range of incredible blues talent, with proceeds supporting charitable causes dear to Rivers’ heart.

    Listeners are treated to a stellar lineup of artists that span the breadth and depth of the blues genre. The show kicks off with a nod to the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, before diving into multiple tracks by John Mayall and the Blues Breakers, offering a comprehensive look at Mayall's pioneering work. Albert Castiglia, The Blue Bishops, and Doug Duffey and BADD provide powerful performances, while classics from Ray Charles and The Fabulous Thunderbirds evoke the timeless spirit of the blues.

    The episode also highlights some lesser-known but equally talented artists, such as The Incredible Blues Puppies, Rob Millis, and Christopher Wyze and the Tellers, each bringing their unique flair to the show. Fans of British blues will enjoy contributions from Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra, and The Geoff Garbow Band. Meanwhile, Chris Daniels and the Kings with Freddie Gowdy, Dave Ferra, and Eddie Cotton add to the diverse mix.

    Listeners will also appreciate tracks from The Duchess Jureesa McBride, and the Brazilian duo Ari Borger and Igor Prado, who blend their native rhythms with traditional blues, offering a global perspective on the genre. The episode closes with a powerful rendition by Catfish, ensuring that the tribute to Mayall ends on a high note.

    "Blues is the Truth" continues to be a must-listen for blues enthusiasts, expertly curated by Ian McHugh, who not only honors the greats but also shines a light on the up-and-coming talents keeping the blues alive today.
