Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we welcome Ray Bonneville back to the show and back home to Montreal. Ray will be at La Sotterenea in La Sala Rossa on Wednesday and we caught up with him by phone. He also generously honoured us with a new song which makes its debut right here. But before that let's listen to the latest advance singles from some upcoming albums by Buddy Guy, Bernie Barlow, Ronnie Wood, Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Zac Schulze Gang, Bywater Call and more from Maria Muldaur's new album. In the "history" set we've got Lucille Bogan, Jack Kelly, Rubberlegs Williams, Roy Milton, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Lonnie Mack, JW-Jones, Johnny Winter, and Steve Rowe. We'll close with a song from Jim Zeller who's performing at this week's outdoor concert at the Lady Davidson Bar on Thursday.

It was another awesome and amazing show.
Started out with the living legend of the blues, Buddy Guy followed by many great Rockin blues songs.
Then you added Howlin Wolf and BB King in the historical segment, making the whole show awesome, amazing and outstanding.
Excellent show, please keep up the awesome work. 👍🏼
