Out now!
Issue 239: November 2021
It’s been a great year for When Rivers Meet. Riding on the success of their debut album We Fly Free, released a mere twelve months ago (it’s been a long year), Aaron and Grace Bond subsequently became the first band to win four awards at the UK Blues Awards earlier this year. And, now there’s album number two Saving Grace, and a forthcoming tour with King King on the cards.
Austin’s Sue Foley’s favourite colour is clearly pink: her trademark Fender Telecaster stands out a country mile and her latest album ‘Pinky’s Blues’ pays homage. We talk to the Canadian guitarist from her Austin home. And talking “north of the border”, fellow Canadian Colin James has a new album and he’ll be giving us the lowdown In His Own Words. Closer to home, we’re hot on the blower to Suzy and Simon of Starlite Campbell Band, Mark Pontin and Mississippi MacDonald and we track down the one and only Dion in his native New York and grill him on the release of his second, star-studded blues album Stompin’ Ground.
Plus: Paul Cowley, Mambo Jambo, Dutch rockers DeWolff, album and gig reviews, On Your Radio with Clive R and much more.
