    The world lost an amazing songwriter with the death of Mark Hollis, one of founding members of Talk Talk. We play a song in memory of him on this episode. There's more about Mipso along with a couple of their tunes and we also veer off the Alt-country path with some Soccer Mommy.

    Did you SEE what Gillian Welch and David Rawlings wore to the Oscars when they played their song from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs? I heart them. And the song, which I'll be playing. Mipso is a band that gets extra focus today and we go Back In The Day to talk about the evolution of a band that's been active for over 30 years now.

    Hour Two brings recent Death Cab for Cutie, timeless beauty from Calexico, and some crunching attitude from The Jam. I might tell about how a couple other songs were inspired by the time I spent with my daughter in Europe too.

    Along with the usual twang-infused tunes from the likes of James McMurtry and Jason Isbell, we’re going to get funky with Leftie’s Soul Connection and sneer and the patriarchy with the X-Ray Specs. My Back-In-The Day segment will focus on a bit more history from Husker Du and and I’ll try not to be too chatty so I can fit in a birthday song for one of my all-time favorites at the end of the hour. My daughter, Kathleen

    It’s been fun putting together the next two hours of music but let’s start with this first one. I’ve got new music that includes The Jayhawks and J. Mascic, I’ve got a classic in the line up from Peter Gabriel, we’ll go Back In The Day to learn a little more about an early 80’s group from the upper midwest who really left a mark and we’ll start things with some Canadian twang from Lowest of the Low.

    We do a bit of traveling around this hour. We’re hitting Motown with some Marvin Gaye, there's a stop in New York City with my Back-In-The-Day feature and we're even going to Ireland for the Pogues. We’ll get started with our usual twang though and head straight for the frozen lakes of Minnesota for some Cold Man Winter.  Bundle up but leave the ear muffs behind because you don't want to muffle these sounds!

There’s a classic from Tom Petty, we revisit The Church with my segment called Back-In-The-Day and the rest of the hour, I’ll fill with my performance art sketch based on the poetry of Cardi B.

Mostly, it'll be that twang I like so much including Lucinda Williams.  Plus I take us Back-In-The-Day with a former member of The Teardrop Explodes. Download and enjoy!

    This episode is all about Elvis. Original run-date for this Happy Fun Time Hour is January 13, 2019. On this day in 2005, there was a report published that said more songs had been written about Elvis Presely than any other artists. The list is over 220 (at the time). I'm picking some of my favorites from R.E.M, Thin Lizzy, Counting Crows and even Mark Knopfler. Enjoy!

    This is the hour where the Brandi Carlile I play is a new cut, we’re going to jam a bit with Sturgill Simpson and get a little brotherly at the end of it all (Brothers Comatose and Gibson Brothers). Starting it off, though, a great tune I discovered from Amos Lee  last week.  Artwork credit: jschmetz https://www.etsy.com/listing/119541611/squirrel-banjo-art-print-jschmetz-pop

    Nothing too fancy to wrap up the year but I’ll sneak in a reference here and there. This hour includes a new tune from Billy Sedlymayr, an older tune from Brandi Carlile (we’ll save her new stuff for the second hour) and we’ll get a classic in from Bob Dylan. We start with Jay Farrar and the hope the coming year is better than this past year when it comes to promise.

    Hour Two of my episode where I suspend the usual formatting for some holiday-themese twang, sneer and hip-swinging joy (when we're not being morose because our hearts are broken). This hour does have a more mellow skew to it, so chill out and kick back. We have Paul Kelly, Josh Rouse and Neko Case covering Tom Waits. We’ll start with Amos Lee doing a John Prine Christmas classic. Of sorts.

    It’s the Holiday Hootenanny so we’re suspending the usual format which is twang mixed with funky grooves and some punk rock throw in with a little bit of pop and whatever I want. Instead, we’re doing all of that but songs that are made for the holiday. So plan on hearing some db’s this hour along with The Band and Southern Culture on the Skids. And there's no better way to open a show like this than with The Pogues, feat. Kirsty MacColl

I’ve decided not to tell you who I’m featuring on my segment called “Back In The Day” until we get there but I will tell you I got the new Billy Sedlmayr album, so that’s getting checked out.
