This week on Blues From The Ouse, we head straight to Chicago — the city where the blues plugged in, turned up, and changed music forever.
From the electrified foundations laid by Muddy Waters and Little Walter, through the West Side brilliance of Magic Sam and Otis Rush, to modern torchbearer Toronzo Cannon — this is a full journey through the Chicago sound.
We also bring you brand-new music from Mike Zito and Tedeschi Trucks Band, plus a packed hour of listener requests featuring Gary Clark Jr., John Mayall and the legendary B.B. King.
From early Chess recordings to today’s evolving scene, this episode captures the sound, spirit, and legacy of Chicago blues — electric, influential, and still setting the standard.
