Fresh cuts and deep grooves — from San Pedro Slim’s back-alley swing to brand new heat from Lecia Louise. A nod to Chris Wilson, some Barnett bite, Neil Young’s timeless riff, and a strong Aussie thread with Lloyd Spiegel, Clayton Doley and The Stomp N Ramblers.
Blues, roots, soul — a bit of grit, a bit of grease… and it all lands hard.
SPARK — turn it up and let it burn.

We open this week with a short tribute to the late John Hammond — a player who stayed true to the roots and never overplayed it. A couple of his tracks to get things underway.
After that, it’s a well-balanced set — a mix of older cuts, newer releases, and a strong Australian showing. You’ll hear Dan Dinnen N Shorty, Julian James N Moonshine State, Jen Mize N Rough N Tumble, Greg Numan N The General Jacksons, Shane O’Mara N Jac Tonks, Shane Pacey, Catch 23 and Van Walker alongside the internationals.
We move through hill country with Junior Kimbrough, some clean Texas swing from Jimmy Vaughan, and a bit of groove from Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. There are also a couple of pre-release tracks worth a listen.
It’s a steady run — blues and roots as you like it!
