Cerys' weekly round up of the blues you need! This week she's joined by William Bell, legendary Stax recording artist and the composer of blues classic "Born Under A Bad Sign"!

William's 1961 debut single "You Don't Miss Your Water" has just been inducted into the Grammy Music Hall of Fame, and he's in the UK to appear at the Red Rooster festival in Suffolk this weekend, where he'll be backed by long time friends of the show, the Take Me to the River All-Stars.

Also tonight there's new music from Kitty Liv and Katarina Pejak, a Sam Cooke classic and birthday songs from John Fogerty and Ramsey Lewis.
