We’re all about the big shows and one big new project today. Previews of some stellar upcoming events, and then a chat with Jaxon Haldane about The Willie P Bennett Legacy Project, which aims to protect and promote the amazing, but under-appreciated legacy of the late, great Willie P Bennett. This is truly a wonderful project, and one that I can’t endorse highly enough. Please check it out: www.willieplegacy.com
February 1 marked 25 years since the tragic death of one of the great, unsung songwriting heroes of all time, Blaze Foley. His reputation has grown over the course of those years, thanks to friends and fans who have sung his songs and spread the word, but there’s still more to be done. We’re doing our part today with a retrospective of some great Blaze covers and of course some from the man himself. Plus, we’re joined by a very special guest, Blaze’s good friend and musical partner for many years, the great Gurf Morlix!

Pre-recorded today because of the Matt Epp @ Sunset Saloon show. There’s plenty of new music trickling in, another great house concert coming up, and the return of the always great Blue Rodeo. Plus, since we’re coming to you from the basement, it’s easy to pick out some old favourites that haven’t made the trip down to UMFM in a while.

We’re pleased to present the premiere of one of the most eagerly anticipated albums of the year, Del Barber‘s Prairieography! Del’s crafted another gem of a record, and while we wait for the album to be released on Feb. 4 through True North Records, Del stops in to tell us all about it, spin some new songs from the album, and even play some live!
There are a few upcoming shows that we’re pretty excited about and need to celebrate. We also take another trip to Outlaw Country with some leftovers from Thursday’s celebration on Steel Belted Free Range Radio.
