This year I received well over 300 albums from around the world and I send my thanks to everybody who took the trouble to send material to me. I do appreciate it and especially appreciate that you are willing to do so.
As is my wont at this time of year, this week’s show is the first part of a look back over some of my favourite albums which arrived at La Maison de Blues Numérique during 2023. It was very hard to narrow it down to select the 14 tracks I play in this edition of Digital Blues. Is it blues? Is it roots? Is it world music? All I know is that I love it! Hope you do too!
