Delmark Records Announces Bluesin’ Through The Years – A Special Vinyl Release from Dave Weld & The Imperial Flames

Release date: September 19, 2025
​Delmark Records, together with Dave Weld and Monica Myhre, is proud to announce the release of Bluesin’ Through The Years, a special red vinyl LP celebrating the band’s most powerful and enduring songs. In Monica’s words, “It feels like it will last forever!” Dave Weld enthusiastically agrees. In addition to the red vinyl edition, a limited number of albums will be available in exclusive FLAME vinyl.

Dave Weld & The Imperial Flames are widely recognized as one of today’s most authentic and electrifying blues bands. Their live performances deliver high energy, versatility, and a seamless blend of original houserockin’ blues, blues-rock, funk, boogie, and soul. Their original material is rooted in tradition yet timeless, while their renditions of standards shine with striking three-part harmonies and the power of three unique vocal stylists.

At the helm is slide guitarist Dave Weld, mentored by Grammy Award-winning legend J.B. Hutto. He is joined by acclaimed vocalist Monica Myhre (Mona Rose), a two-time RAMI Award winner. The lineup also features the smooth-voiced Jeff Taylor on drums, Kenny Pickens delivering driving bass lines, Harry YaSeen a protégé of the great Art Hodes on piano and organ, and Mississippi saxophonist Rogers Randle, bringing fiery soul to the group’s sound.

Together, Dave Weld & The Imperial Flames carry forward the Chicago blues tradition with passion, originality, and a sound that is both timeless and fresh.
