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!
