DUBLIN, Ireland — August 21, 2026 — Mehran Matin, Julyo & SF1 present “Blues Way,” a new nine-track traditional blues album honoring the roots, history and living legacy of the blues.Recorded between November 2025 and July 2026 at Camden Studios and Yellow Door Music Studios in Dublin, Ireland, “Blues Way” brings together musicians from different backgrounds, generations and musical traditions.
Running for nearly 34 minutes, the album moves through different shades of traditional blues, from intimate and reflective moments to fuller arrangements built around guitar, organ, harmonica, saxophone, percussion and drums.
At its heart, “Blues Way” is about stories — stories of home, distance, memory, people who have disappeared but whose music remains, and roads traveled and 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 the album, ensuring that Tim’s music could finally reach a wider audience.
“The River of Love” also features acclaimed British guitarist Robbie McIntosh on lead guitar and backing vocals, 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 or a style, but a way of telling stories.
The album features performances by Giulio “Julyo” D’Agostino, Tim Broad, Robbie McIntosh, Chris Lonergan, Ken Watkins, Hugo Lee, Suzanne “Sax Diva” Grzanna, An Vedi, Federico Gucciardo, Jack Walker, Igor Wilcox, David Herzhaft, Fernando Moncada, Dario Rodighiero and SF1.
“Blues Way” is released by Buoy Music and published by Buoy Music Publishing.
