A celebration of music that criss-crosses the blues with country, pop, hip-hop, and more. We also mark the release of a new collection of British blues from 1963-1976 with the help of author Garth Cartwright, and The Folk Show's Mark Radcliffe pops by to choose his favourite blues song. Plus a whole host of new music, from the likes of Samantha Fish, Adia Victoria, and 16 year old British sensation Toby Lee.

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.
