Wasn’t that a party? Corin Raymond & The Sundowners came to town to celebrate the release of Paper Nickels, and I was there for 2 out of the 3 shows. Magical. The project aims to expose great underappreciated songs & writers, so in true folk detective style, we’ve got some of the many songs that Corin played and recommended, as well as some friends and colleagues. On a more sombre note, this weekend marks the anniversary of the death of the late great John Bottomley, as well as the star-studded tribute to another great musician gone too soon, Jay Smith.
