Blue Suede News covers the entire spectrum of American Roots Music, from '50 s Rock'n'Roll styles - Rockabilly and Rhythm & Blues to Country, Blues, Cajun & Zydeco, Swing and
you-name-it hybrids. Basically, anything we like.
We're Quarterly, with 52 pages each issue
(issues 32 thru 55 had 68 pages - #56 has 60 pages)

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 - including color photo layouts each issue -
and a massive review section covering books, DVDs, CDs, vinyl, and occassionally
other products relating to music.

We review around 100 CD/DVD/Book titles in each issue!
