"Blues Way"

At its heart, Blues Way is about stories. Stories of home. Stories of distance. Stories of memory. Stories of people who have disappeared but whose music remains. Stories of roads traveled and roads left behind.

"The River of Love": A Lost Recording Finds Its Way Home

At the center of Blues Way is "The River of Love," a deeply personal recording featuring the late Tim Broad. Recorded in the 1980s and never officially released until now, the track brings Broad's music to an audience beyond the musicians and listeners who knew and appreciated his work during his lifetime.

The story of how the recording was rediscovered became one of the most meaningful parts of the Blues Way project. Emma Gale played an important role in preserving the recording and helping bring it to Blues Way, ensuring that Tim's music could finally reach a wider audience.

"The River of Love" also features acclaimed British guitarist Robbie McIntosh on guitar, connecting a recording preserved from another era with the musicians and collaborators who brought Blues Way together decades later.

Keeping the Blues Burning

Blues Way ultimately exists because musicians continue to believe that the blues matters. The genre has endured across generations because its emotional language remains universal. Its stories may begin in a particular time or place, but the feelings at their center — love, loss, longing, resilience, loneliness, hope, memory, and the desire to find one's way home — remain recognizable.

That is what Blues Way seeks to preserve. Not simply a sound. Not simply a style. But a way of telling stories.
