Podcast: Steel Belted Radio – Jan. 8, 2015

The new year has brought some great new music, some brand new and some new to me. One of the more interesting finds is a song about ME that’s been on iTunes for 3 years, and I had no idea! We’ve also got a great list of some of the greatest cover versions of 2014.

We’re ringing in the new year with a 5 hour marathon, including a look back at 2014, with more of the best of the year, plus lengthy tributes to two of the most important and amazing songwriters of all time, Townes Van Zandt and Hank Williams, who share an anniversary of their deaths. The men may be gone, but the music will last forever. Even with 5 hours, there was still plenty of great music left over for weeks to come!

Christmas has come and gone, but there are still some great holiday-related songs that we haven’t played yet, so just like the turkey taking up space in your fridge, it’s time to clear out these leftovers and do something with them! This is also one of our annual holiday marathon episodes, where everyone sensible stays home and takes a break from radio, but I’ve never been accused of being sensible, so instead of the usual 2 hours, this show runs for 5! That gives us plenty of time to look back at the year that was, and play a whole bunch of the best music, concerts, and live guests of 2014!

It’s just about Christmas, and although I try to resist the temptation to play a bunch of Christmas music, there’s one show where I just give in and go with it, and this is it. Here are some songs about and for the holiday season, and they won’t even give you heart burn! The worst music in the world is bad Christmas music, but there is plenty of great stuff out there, and here are some of the good ones. Merry Christmas, everyone!

It is, indeed, beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so it’s time to sound like it as well, as we continue to roll out some holiday music that doesn’t suck. We’ve also got some musical gift-giving options as we listen to some of the best albums of the year, and somehow, I got off on a tangent and listened to a whole pile of amazing songs by some super talented women.
