Last week we held a birthday party for Guy Clark, this week we’re having one for another Texas great, Ray Wylie Hubbard. We’ve got a bunch of his songs and his friends along to celebrate. We’ve also got some new music and some great upcoming shows by the likes of Peter Katz and Ox.

Tonight we’re inspired by the late, great Willie P Bennett, Tom Wilson, Minneapolis, and whatever causes T-Bar to play the stuff that he does…

There’s a couple of great shows coming up, featuring Brock Zeman and Tom Wilson, and while we could spend hours and hours extolling the virtues of both, we’ll do what we can in the space of a few songs. This week we also play a bunch of all-time classics for our pal Boyd, and anyone who loves great songs.

All the cool kids are releasing new albums on vinyl these days, and the coolest of the cool put out limited edition coloured vinyl versions, so that nerds like me can bring a bunch of them down to play on the radio, like I did today. We also listened to a few tracks featuring producer/player Sam Kassirer, who heads to Winnipeg this week to make a new record. We heard some folky songs, some rockin’ tunes, some dedications, and some songs inspired by the Neighbor’s Dog.

The 2011 Western Canadian Music Awards take place tonight, and the slate of nominees is especially strong, and especially stacked with Winnipeg artists, so what else are we to do but play a whole bunch of the nominees? We’ve also got a heaping helping of great new music, and a couple of show previews featuring Oh Susanna and Elliott BROOD.

One of our favourite bands, Sunparlour Players, released a new record this week, and it’s a gem. That led us off into previewing some other great roots rockin’ bands who return to town soon. We’ve got a few classics and a birthday song to end off the show.

Dale Murray is one talented dude, and the first part of the show demonstrates that. He produced the wonderful new record by Steven Bowers, as well as the recent works of our good friend Christina Martin, and he used to play in Cuff the Duke, who return to Winnipeg this week. We heard a few requests/dedications, before dusting off a big ol’ pile of vinyl records for a great set of golden oldies.

A little bit of everything we love on this show, with no clear rhyme or reason. It’s a bunch of great music, what better reason could you need to tune in?
