We explore blues lineage with Nine Below Zero’s take on “Sugar Mama,” revisit JB Lenoir’s “Talk to Your Daughter” via Robben Ford, and close with four giants: Hendrix, Allman, Kid Ramos, and Mick Taylor. Plus, listener shout-outs, gig guide highlights, and a double dose of cuckoo.

Fresh releases, funky legs, and chicken-fuelled chaos — this week’s show struts from blues grit to poultry-powered grooves. Angie turns 70 and celebrates by dodging the show entirely, while we honour her with whiskey, cheese curd laws, and harmonica swagger.
We measure Big Joe against baked bean tins, revisit Freddie King’s leggy lament, and dive into chicken-themed tracks with swampy funk and Camden boogie. Listener requests bring Faustian bargains and soup nostalgia.
It’s blues with bite, bounce, and a side of mischief.

Blues From The Ouse #296
If you missed it live, don’t worry — we’ve bottled the blues and brought them straight to your ears.
We kicked off with new releases so fresh the ink’s still wet, including high-voltage energy from The Zac Schulze Gang and deep Mud from Morganfield. Then it was time to get low down and funky with Tim Gartland, Robert Ward, and York legends The Blueflies.
We walked, ran, and limped through a themed segment (calorie burn optional), before diving into listener requests — from Thorogood to Teskey, with shout-outs to Neil (fears trousers), Julie (facing the wall), and Tony (DIY king).
We wrapped with gig news, cheeky classics, and a cool collab from Superdownhome ft Nine Below Zero. If it hit the spot, spread the word. If it missed, call it character building. We’ll be back next week with more tunes, more tales, and maybe a few laughs.

We swing through four takes on midnight (CCR to Johnny Otis), then hit your listener requests — Alice Armstrong, Albert King, and a trimmed epic from Henrik Freischlader. Expect shoutouts, odd laws, and a few eyebrow-raisers.
Plus: gig roundups, ticket alerts, and a closing set of live favourites from The Achievers, The Della Grants, Jimmy Regal & The Royals, and Mississippi Heat.
