More than simply performing the blues, Purdy approaches the music as a form of testimony \u2014 drawing on experience, emotion and a strong connection to the traditions that shaped her. On <em data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"886\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em>, that combination of strength and vulnerability comes fully to the forefront.<\/p><p data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1386\">Over the years, Purdy has performed on stages around the world, including the <strong data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1108\">Chicago Blues Festival<\/strong> and the <strong data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1161\">Vila do Conde Blues Festival in Portugal<\/strong>. She has also appeared alongside legendary bluesman <strong data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1228\">Bobby Rush<\/strong> and shared stages with artists including <strong data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1347\">Sugaray Rayford, Tommy Castro, Christone \u201cKingfish\u201d Ingram and Kenny Neal<\/strong>.<\/p><p data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1837\">Behind those major performances, however, lies a much more personal musical influence. One of Purdy\u2019s most treasured memories is singing harmonies with her grandmother <strong data-start=\"1556\" data-end=\"1565\">Netty<\/strong>, whose voice, love and spirit left a lasting mark on her. <em data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1650\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em> is dedicated to her grandmother\u2019s memory, giving the album an emotional connection between family, musical heritage and the artist Purdy has become.<\/p><h3 data-section-id=\"h9ntka\" data-start=\"1839\" data-end=\"1869\"><span role=\"text\"><em data-start=\"1843\" data-end=\"1869\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em><\/span><\/h3><p data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"2216\">Released through <strong data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"1909\">Dirtshack Records<\/strong>, <em data-start=\"1911\" data-end=\"1937\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em> places Purdy\u2019s visceral, soulful vocals within a musical landscape of blues, rock \u2019n\u2019 roll, folk influences and roots music. The album moves between grit and tenderness, combining raw energy with intimate and emotionally direct songwriting.<\/p><p data-start=\"2218\" data-end=\"2607\">At the heart of the record is Purdy\u2019s collaboration with <strong data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2297\">producer Dave Osti<\/strong>, a songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist who plays all the instruments on the majority of the tracks. Osti\u2019s approach gives the album both musical depth and an organic character, creating a strong foundation for Purdy\u2019s expressive vocals and heartfelt delivery.<\/p><p data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2994\">The title <em data-start=\"2619\" data-end=\"2645\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em> feels particularly appropriate. This is music that stands at the intersection of <strong data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"2841\">blues tradition and contemporary roots music, gospel and soul, strength and vulnerability, legacy and becoming<\/strong>. Purdy does not treat those influences as separate worlds; she brings them together into a sound that feels personal, lived-in and unmistakably her own.<\/p><p data-start=\"2996\" data-end=\"3170\"><strong data-start=\"2996\" data-end=\"3132\">Brigitte Purdy\u2019s <em data-start=\"3015\" data-end=\"3041\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em> was released on July 17 on Dirtshack Records and is available on CD and digital formats.<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"3172\" data-end=\"3367\">For listeners who believe that the blues should carry not only great musicianship but also truth, emotion and a story worth telling, <em data-start=\"3305\" data-end=\"3331\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em> is an album well worth discovering.<\/p><p data-start=\"3415\" data-end=\"3606\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-609ce57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"609ce57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"1053\" src=\"https:\/\/blueswave.radio\/fm223\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cover-1170x1053.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-36931\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueswave.radio\/fm223\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cover-1170x1053.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/blueswave.radio\/fm223\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cover-770x693.jpg 770w, https:\/\/blueswave.radio\/fm223\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cover-768x691.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blueswave.radio\/fm223\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cover-1536x1382.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blueswave.radio\/fm223\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cover-e1786300133346.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0419106 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0419106\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"fpkf5p\" data-start=\"3392\" data-end=\"3413\">Album Information<\/h3><p data-start=\"3415\" data-end=\"3606\"><strong data-start=\"3415\" data-end=\"3426\">Artist:<\/strong> Brigitte Purdy<br data-start=\"3441\" data-end=\"3444\" \/><strong data-start=\"3444\" data-end=\"3454\">Album:<\/strong> <em data-start=\"3455\" data-end=\"3481\">Mother of the Crossroads<\/em><br data-start=\"3481\" data-end=\"3484\" \/><strong data-start=\"3484\" data-end=\"3494\">Label:<\/strong> Dirtshack Records<br data-start=\"3512\" data-end=\"3515\" \/><strong data-start=\"3515\" data-end=\"3532\">Release Date:<\/strong> July 17<br data-start=\"3540\" data-end=\"3543\" \/><strong data-start=\"3543\" data-end=\"3555\">Formats:<\/strong> CD \/ Digital<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d5ecf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"8d5ecf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/_S-1kn0kmKE?si=Ssk6Iq2tJdciI_Q5&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Award-winning blues and roots artist Brigitte Purdy returns with Mother of the Crossroads, a powerful new album that brings together blues, soul, Americana and rock \u2019n\u2019 roll with deeply personal storytelling.
