Robson Recommends: Jonathan Byrd

Singer/songwriter Jonathan Byrd has been on the radar for a couple of years now, since we received his great record “The Law & The Lonesome” a couple of years ago. Since then, he’s become an honorary Canadian, touring and hanging out regularly with folks like Corin Raymond. Recently, he visited our own Jaxon Haldane to record a new record.

The other night, I was at the Times Change(d) and this song came on. I had to write down the title and track it down. Amazing. Word on the street is that it’ll be on the new record. I can’t wait:

Steel Belted Radio – April 28, 2011

It’s always embarrassing when a radio guy gets laryngitis, but I just had to come in anyway, because it’s time to chat with our old pal Geoff Berner, who returns to town this week. Luckily, Berner is one of those great guests that I can count on to do most of the work. We’ve also got some new music and some of T-Bar’s picks.
