Blues Matters! Magazine

01 February, 2025

The ultimate tribute to B.B. King The latest issue of Blues Matters is live, led by a major tribute to B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, marking what would have been the King of the Blues’ 100th birthday. Issue 158 explores how B.B. King’s influence continues to shape the blues today, through the artists, records, and stories carrying that legacy forward. It’s not about looking back for nostalgia’s sake, but showing how his music still resonates in the present. Alongside the cover feature, the issue includes in-depth interviews, new album releases, and tour stories from across the modern blues landscape. As always, Blues Matters keeps the focus on the music, the people behind it, and why the blues still matters.
