    WEEK COMMENCING 4TH JANUARY 2026 - REVIEW OF 2025 PART 2

    As I mentioned last week, in 2025 I received over 300 albums, many of which I really enjoyed and trying to reduce my favourites to those that I could fit in to two 58-minute shows was quite a task and I could not include everybody. On this week’s edition of the award-winning Digital Blues, the first of the New Year, I bring you the second part of my review of last year with 16 tracks from some more of those that made the cut. Tune in for music from Bobby Charles, Blues Against the Machine, Cecilya & The Candy Kings, Bernard Sellam & the Boyz from the Hood, Roomful of Blues, Southern Avenue, Candice Ivory, Jon Cleary, Carolyn Wonderland, Secondhand Dreamcar, Big Dave & the Dutchmen, The Freaky Buds ft Alabama Mike, Jessie Lee & The Alchemists, J.T.
