I receive lots of Blues CDs from artists and I use very few of them on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine. This week we catch up with some of the best recent releases. We’ll hear music from Kim Simmonds, Sherman Holmes, Debbie Davies, Selwyn Birchwood and many more. It’s All Blues on this edition of The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
