Today we paid a brief tribute to the work of Billy “Bud” Cowsill, who lost his battle with life on Friday. He will be missed, but his great music will live on.

Upcoming shows, brief tributes to the music of Nick Lowe and Woody Guthrie, and then a lengthy tribute to one of my favourite bands of all time, Skydiggers. Best of all, I had the opportunity to speak with Skydiggers lead singer Andy Maize, whom I’ve always wanted to chat with. Andy and the rest of the Skydiggers will be in town next week for what should be an amazing show alongside The Cash Brothers.

What better way to kick off a new year than with a TTBTGH marathon. 6 hours of radio goodness to keep you company on New Year’s Day.

First up, some simple, peaceful tunes to ease things off (in case your head hurts after New Year’s Eve celebrations)

Then, a celebration of the life and music of two of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time, who both tragically died too soon on January 1, Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt.

And, a celebration of some of the best and brightest from 2005.

And now for something a little bit different…

The past few weeks have been featuring a lot of the best of 2005, which means that I played a lot of the stuff that we hear a lot on the show anyway. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but 2005 is over, time to start fresh and maybe add some new favourites to the mix, so this show was about music that we either haven’t heard on the show before or don’t hear nearly enough of on the show.

The new releases are starting to heat up after the Christmas dead-season. First up, the much anticipated new effort from the amazing Andy Sheppard. It’s a doozy. Also coming out soon is one by a dream pairing for me, Skydiggers and the Cash Brothers. In anticipation of that, we heard some very old Skydiggers, when Josh & Andy were known as West Montrose, and some very new stuff off of the new record.

Also, TTBTGH jumped into the online music piracy business as the website is the only place you can officially get Geoff Berner’s new smash single “Phoney Drawl.” We heard it, some classic Geoff, and some songs by the man who inspired the song.
