Blues From The Ouse #311 – New Blues Releases, Prison Blues, Blind Blues Legends & Listener Requests

Episode #311 of Blues From The Ouse delivers two hours of carefully curated blues, spanning brand-new releases, deep roots classics, powerful themes and listener-selected favourites.We open the show with fresh blues releases, featuring new music from Selwyn Birchwood, Robert John & The Wreck, Alex Lopez, and Ally Venable, including a Grammy-timed re-release with Buddy Guy. Expect modern electric swamp blues, retro revival sounds and blues-rock that bends the rules just enough.The first themed set, “The Legal Blues”, explores songs of judges, juries, prisons and punishment. From Furry Lewis and Bukka White’s Parchman Farm Blues to Joe Bonamassa’s cinematic re-working of Prisoner and Sonny Boy Williamson II’s courtroom classic Your Funeral And My Trial, this is blues born from hard time and harder truths.Next, “Sight Unseen” shines a light on musicians who lost their sight but sharpened their sound. Featuring Ray Charles, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Sonny Terry, and Jeff Healey, this set celebrates artists whose hearing, feel and phrasing changed the shape of blues music forever.The second hour is all about listener requests, digging deep beyond algorithm playlists. Tracks come from Chicago Bob and the Blues Squad, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Hitman Blues Band, Canyon Lights, Sherman Robertson, The Zac Schulze Gang, and more — plus the latest Blues From The Ouse Gig Round-Up, highlighting upcoming UK blues shows and festivals.We wind the night down with The Great Divide, tracing the crossover between blues and country with The Allman Brothers Band, Freddie King, Eric Clapton, Mudcrutch, and Area Code 615.If you love modern blues, classic blues, UK blues radio, deep themes, and music with a story to tell, this episode is for you.#311 Blues From The Ouse Playlist:Blues From The Ouse - Show Intro - 00:00:00Selwyn Birchwood - The Church Of Electric Swamp Funkin' Blues - 00:02:05Robert Jon & The Wreck - Old Man - 00:10:02Alex Lopez - Your Lovin' - 00:13:08Ally Venable Band (ft.
