It’s “New Month/New Music” time as Crossroads teams up with Global Village and Strange Currency at the beginning of every month to feature the best in new blues releases.

Among the highlights this time:

A solo release from ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons

A two-disc instrumental set from West Coast blues harpist Rod Piazza

Award winning blues drummer Cedric Burnside

Atlanta swamp rock and blues band Delta Moon

Canada-based blues pianist Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne

Soul blues singer Johnny Rawls

B3 soul blues player Raphael Wressnig

Blues rocker Joe Louis Walker with Bruce Katz and Giles Robson

Plus reissues from Floyd Dixon, Roy Brown, Willis ‘Gator Tail’ Jackson, and Smiley Lewis.

We also pay tribute to Otis Rush who just passed away and will feature music from him and Duke Robillard throughout October.
