A couple of eagerly awaited new releases kick things off. Then, one newly discovered release from last year got me to thinking about Ry Cooder, and a tribute ensued. We also heard some classics from days gone by, and looked forward to some shows to come.

January 9th would have been Billy Cowsill’s 67th birthday, and there are few singers that we love more than old Billy “Bud,” so I felt like listening to a bunch of his work, which somehow led into a solid set of 70s am radio classics. Strange things happen on Tell the Band to Go Home. We also have a stellar new record from Paul Kelly to share, as well as new songs from Shannon Lyon and other favourites!

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.
