For the 40th year, the Blues Music Awards will present a one-of-a-kind gathering of renowned performers and rising stars who reflect the breadth and variety of talent found in today’s blues music scene.

The Blues Foundation has scheduled a week of live music, workshops, films, exhibits and more for the 35th Annual International Blues Challenge.

Scheduled for release on January 11th, ‘The Imperial’ is the latest offering from country soul group, The Delines. But the album almost didn’t happen at all.

A trio based in both Seattle and London, Lonesome Shack plays a combination of hill country blues and urban folk.

‘Heartland and Soul’ is the debut release from an artist drawing upon a lot of experience, and the result is a well-crafted album that everyone should hear.

A keepsake museum-quality boxed set of sight, sound, and the human condition, ‘Stax ’68: A Memphis Story’ is a feast for the ears, soul, and mind.

One of the last and most accomplished practitioners of the golden 1950s era of Chicago blues, Williams was well-known for his instantly recognizable stinging guitar tone.

On February 22nd, Forty Below Records will release ‘Nobody Told Me’, the new studio album from The Godfather of British Blues, John Mayall.

It’s blues rock, but then again not. It’s Southern rock, but then again more. It’s rock and roll, slathered in funky soul with a machine-gun guitar at its forefront. It’s Glenn Alexander and company at their very best.

“Try to keep it as real as you can. I’m doing what I love. Blues is all about life. I want to keep it real.” – John Primer
