The Great Blues Songbook

Cerys enters another classic into our Great Blues Songbook. Plus we have more tunes from competing nations at Euro 2020, and hear from the founder of Alligator Records.

Cerys enters another classic into our Great Blues Songbook. Plus we have more tunes from competing nations at Euro 2020, this time it's Germany and Hungary. We also hear from the founder of Alligator Records, Bruce Iglauer. Bruce tells us about how Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials recorded their first album, Roughhousin'.

From cutting edge contemporary sounds to scratchy old vinyl from the past, whether it’s from Memphis, Mali, or Manchester, no stone is left unturned in the search for the best of the blues. With live guest sessions and interviews, alongside blues voices from the archives.
