We’ve got our usual mix of great new music and some classic favourites, as well as some songs by people that Bob Dylan doesn’t like – Merle Haggard and Tom T. Hall! Oh, Bitter Bob, you really should have listened to this show.

February 15 marks the sad anniversary of the death of one of Canada’s greatest songwriters, Willie P Bennett. With his recordings still tragically held up and unavailable for release or sale, it’s become one of my missions in life to keep as much of Willie’s music on the airwaves as possible, and today is a great chance to play a bunch of his amazing songs.
