Blue Suede News covers the entire spectrum of American Roots Music, from '50 s Rock'n'Roll styles - Rockabilly and Rhythm & Blues to Country, Folk, Bluegrass, Blues, Cajun & Zydeco, Swing and you-name-it hybrids. Basically, anything we like. We're Quarterly, with 68 pages each issue.

We're interested both in the pioneers of American Roots music and also in contemporary artists who are carrying on these traditions with a strong sense of those roots. While there are some other magazines that cover one area of this subject such as blues or bluegrass, none other covers the whole spectrum in the way we do.

We have feature articles on and interviews with musicians, photos, reports from various scenes, and a massive review section covering books, videos CDs, cassettes, vinyl, films and occassionally other products relating to music. We review over 150 CD titles in each issue!

 

We receive many letters from readers who appreciate that our reviews are informative, trying to stroke neither artists' nor the writers' egos. We try to get to the heart of the matter--why someone would want to own the product--rather than making too many value judgements.

 

 Here's our latest issue!

Feature articles include The Ventures, Gene Summers, Rudy "Tutti" Grayzell, Jimmie Vaughan, Wayne Hancock, Russell Scott & the Red Hots, San Francisco's Grease Ball, The Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame Awards (photo essay), and of course many, many reviews! See our back issues page for a list of feature articles in all the previous issues!
