The Rolling Stones are set to re-release their classic 1971 album Sticky Fingers along with previously unreleased material and alternative takes of beloved album tracks. Regarded as one of the Stones' all-time great albums, 'Sticky Fingers' captured the bands trademark combination of swagger and tenderness in a superb collection. The classic album which features timeless songs such as 'Brown Sugar', 'Wild Horses' (our Video Of the Day) and 'Sister Morphine' will be reissued in a variety of formats from 22nd to 25th May.

Awesome Route 66 from Rory Auskerry last night! Not only did we get this tweet beforehand: "@WRINKLYCLUB not 1, not 2 but 3 @JBONAMASSA tracks on the way at http://pureradio.org.uk plus @Laurencemusic new album & @TheWho - rock on!" ... but the WRC were also mentioned on the show as well! Anyway if you missed it then don't worry - you can listen to it all over again as it is quite appropriately our "Track Of The Day'!

One can never be sure quite what to expect from a Van Morrison performance. Will it be the Blues Van? The Celtic soul Van? The mystic Van? More crucially, will it be the committed Van - or, as has often been the case in recent years - the perfunctory one? Or just plain old grumpy Van !! One thing that can usually be safely predicted is a self-absorption, a reluctance to acknowledge the audience on any level as befits a performer who in one of his most recent songs expressed the sentiment that "Sartre said hell was other people/I believe that most of them are". For this concert, there are two additional elements that might inform the tone of the show. First, this is part of this year’s run of Teenage Cancer Trust shows; a cause that obliges the artist to ensure they’re at their best. Secondly, this show convenient falls close to the release date of his new and 35th(!!) album, 'Duets: Reworking The Catalogue,' and there is in all likelihood an imperative to support that writes Wrinkly The Silver in his review here.

Our pal Richard Dunning is unquestionably a man of many talents - but not only did he promote the Sam Kelly Band gig at The Tuesday Night Music Club the other night - he was also joined in the Croydon Radio studio by Sam just before the gig! Anyway our 'Track Of The Day' is Richard's usual journey through the best of the Blues as the multi-award winning drummer chats about his career to date, playing his choice of music and generally takes over the show!

We were delighted to hear from Enrico Cipollin, lead singer and guitarist of the Italian Blues Rock band Underground Railroad following their recent feature. "Thanks a lot for putting us on your 'Introducing ...' section of the website. It's great!" Well today we're a bit closer to home with Teddy Garcia, who has spent most of his life roaming the world but is now settled in the South of France following a lifelong dream of writing songs and performing live. Inspired by many genres, the Blues is where Teddy feels most at home and is the foundation of most of his songs. All his travel experiences have exposed Teddy to a broad range of musical influences and this all comes together in our 'Track Of The Day'. Enjoy!

Quite a mixed bag here on Kevin Beale's latest show on 'Track Of The Day'. You'll hear AVIT Blues Band, Darrell Mansfield, Duffy Kane, JP Blues, Paul Jones, Robin Bibi, Seam Webster, SugaDaddy and The Honeydrippers, Tas Cru and a rather excellent band from Ireland: Deko! Also an abundance of awesome old stuff in the memorial/birthday section featuring tracks from John Martyn (a song inspired by Skip James), Eddie Taylor, Elmore James, Smokey Hogg and a rather large dose of Willie Dixon with Koko Talor, Howlin' Wolf and The Chicago Allstars. Phew!

Our 'Video Of The Day' says it all - yes the WRC are pleased to announce that AEROSMITH have won our Best Rock Performance award for 2014 following their memorable set at the Calling Festival, Clapham Common, in June. Watch out for further news on other award winners over the coming days.
