Mrs Anderson, the step-sister of Robert Johnson shares her personal memories of growing up with the great bluesman. Now in her 95th year and showing no sign of slowing down, Mrs Anderson's new book Brother Robert sets out to reveal another side to the man behind the legend.

Plus, Cerys digs into her collection to play blues of all hues. From cutting edge contemporary sounds to scratchy old vinyl from the past, whether it’s from Memphis, Mali, or Manchester, no stone is left unturned in the search for the best of the blues. With live guest sessions and interviews, alongside blues voices from the archives.
