Another pre-taped show, but it’s still good, don’t worry.

Featuring an interview I did in February of this year with the amazing Martyn Joseph, who makes his return on Oct. 4 at the WECC for what is sure to be another amazing show.

Also, some great new music came in this week, including the great new bluegrass record from Paul Kelly, the new Neil Young, Ryan Adams, and more.

And a look at one of the greatest Canadian bands of them all, Skydiggers, and some of the projects that those guys have appeared on.

With so many guests, who’s got time to write some witty episode info? All of my time and energy had to go into keeping track and keeping up with Michael Johnston, Dave Clark, and Luke Doucet, all on the telephone (not at once, silly) and Steve Slade who dropped by for a visit and to play some tunes. (special thanks to Steve as I kept him waiting, and waiting, and waiting… he’s a great sport and an even better guest)

As the weather grows colder and my hectic schedule makes me feel older, all I want to do some days is stay under the covers. I’ve been to a few great concerts lately and have heard some great cover versions, so on today’s show, we heard some of the originals that were redone so well lately, and played a bunch of other great covers and songs that were covered. Two more hours under the covers sounds pretty good to me.
