Salty Dog Blues N Roots BRUSHED Podcast July 25.

This week, we slide into a smouldering mix of rhythm and grit — BRUSHED brings together deep cuts and bright sparks, with a sly nod to soul-drenched blues, outlaw roots, and alt-folk finesse. From the smooth swagger of Jamie McLean Band to the smoky gospel stomp of North Mississippi Allstars, this playlist pulls no punches.

And we’re repping the locals loud — Collard Greens N Gravy bring the new boogaloo, Geoff Achison & the Soul Diggers keep it real, Richard Ashby turns it on, and the Chris Wilson classic re released ‘King For A Day’. Raw as ever. Add The Pleasures, Simon Kinny-Lewis, Kevin Borich Express… yeah, we’ve definitely got our homegrown heroes in the mix.

Settle in for:
• Patty Griffin’s haunting Stolen Car
• Taj & Keb’s porch-front magic
• Steve Earle, Yasmin Williams, Koko Taylor and more
