This week, Winnipeg’s Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club is celebrating 25 years of good people with excellent taste in music. Today on the show, we hear loads of music recorded at the club, released by the club, about the club, and songs & stories from plenty of my personal highlights of great shows I’ve seen there over the years.

This is one of our standby series of pre-recorded episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!

It’s time to stop and look back at some of the musical highlights from a year that was kind of terrible in a lot of other ways. Fortunately, there was a lot of great music to help soothe the pain. I picked out as many highlights as I could fit into 3 hours but still have plenty left over for next week!

I’d love to know what resonated with you this year! Please leave a comment, visit the contact page, or find me on social media and let me know what you liked & didn’t like this year!

A bonus half hour allowed for a little extra Can-con Christmas music before jumping into yet another tribute to a fallen music icon. Lately, we’ve had to pay tribute to Todd Snider and Raul Malo, and we were hoping to not have to do it for a while, but the sad news arrived that Joe Ely had left us so an extended tribute was in order once again. Joe has been a pillar of the Texas roots scene for decades and has dabbled in a wide variety of styles and worked with just about everybody over the course of his career. He was also another gem of a human being. He will be missed but his many musical contributions will surely never be forgotten. It would be impossible to fully cover the man’s career in the time we had, but we heard a cross-section of his solo material, work with others, others covering his songs, him covering others’ songs, and more!

New music, classics, we say goodbye to blues & roots great Tim Williams, and a deep dive into the playlists of Planet Mainstage, a mainstay on UMFM for over 20 years. We paid tribute to our friend John Prentice yesterday and it was a reminder of the reach and influence of John’s show. I went through his playlists to find out which artists were played the most over the past 20 years and played a bunch of the most played artists and their most played songs.

This weekend we lost a truly great performer and songwriter. Todd Snider was a gifted and influential musician who left his mark on many other musicians and many fans. Today, we looked at his life and legacy with highlights from his studio albums, some of his memorable and hilarious live stories, as well as some of the many covers, tributes, and collaborations that he was a part of.
