Blues Roots

The PBS Feature Sounds and Feature Album of the week will return soon, but in the meantime, check out the list of the top tracks the PBS team are loving this week. We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

TOP TRACKS WE'RE LOVING

EXEK - 'Sidestepping'

Each week throughout the year, we select one new outstanding album to feature across our platforms as a way of celebrating music that is authentic, original and pure. In 2025, we featured dozens of exceptional albums across a variety of genres that tap into various musical traditions from different corners of the world. Every one of these albums tells a profound story in its own voice, speaking directly to the soul of those willing to listen.

Tracey Miller has spent nearly 40 years captivating audiences worldwide with her soulful voice. Drawing deeply from gospel, soul and rhythm and blues, she sings of hope, passion, love and loss, forging deep connections with listeners.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is the self titled album from GODTET + The Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

At once bold and nuanced, this album explores the friction between improvisation and orchestration. Where the orchestra is anchored in fully composed material, GODTET remains free – navigating the work's harmonic architecture with instinct and spontaneity. Structures are fixed, but expression is fluid.
