IPR Music hosts Karen Impola, Barney Sherman and Bob Dorr share their top picks for new music releases of 2021

IPR's Bob Dorr shares his picks for the best blues releases of 2020.

Iowa Public Radio's Bob Dorr reflects on the day John Lennon died, and how it changed his life, 40 years after Lennon's assassination.

Tonight we listen to a nearly 25 year old recording from the legendary KFMG!  Scott Kay's Local Licks show from 1994!  Ronn Hill is the guest and he brought with him his newest release, which at the time he hoped to release within a few weeks.  However it seems at least the CD didn't get out until 2002.   There are a few songs towards the end of the show that didn't make the CD, but most of the earlier ones did.  It is great to hear Ronn's voice again, and to hear him talk about his life and his music.   While I mentioned most people on the podcast there were a few I missed and as promised here they are in the show notes.  Scott Kay and KFMG host Ronn Hill.  On the original recordings were Ronn Hill on bass and vocal, JC Anderson on guitar, Bryan Mardsen on Keys, Howard Feekerson, John Haun, and Paul Thompson on drums, Frank Trible on guitar.  I said during the podcast that Sam Salamone was on the recordings, he is not mentioned, but is listed on the liner notes of the CD.  However, I have a feeling those songs were recorded later by Ronn.  The recordings were done at Catamount, Juniors motel, and SR Audio. Finally I mention playing on local licks with Bob Dorr, Molly Nova, and John Woody Wood, I forgot to mention Bob Rosenbeck on bass.   Thanks!!!  Please like, subscribe, share, and comment.  If you are on Podbean please follow us!!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!   Tonight we listen to Christmas music from Jono Smith, John Evans, Michelle Baldwin, Bob Dorr, The Worlds Most Dangerous Blues Band, Brian Holtz, Rob Lumbard, Tina Hass Finley, and Max Wellman.   Oh, and it was Bobby Thompson who played sax for the Bob Dorr and the Blue Band many years ago, but I still don't know who actually played on that one.    Please like, subscribe, share, and comment if you are on Podbean please follow us!!!   Thanks!!!!

Tonight we feature the 1988 double cassette release of the Blue Band called Dealer's Choice.  It was their greatest hits to that point.  The band in 1988 featured Bob Dorr on harmonica and vocal, Molly Nova on Violin, Bass, and Vocal, Jeff Peterson on guitar and vocal, Ron DeWitte guitar, bass, and vocal,  Bobby Thompson on sax, and Bryce, Loshman on drums.  Som of these recordings go back to 1981 and include Bill Cannon on sax, Phil Bunky Marlow on sax, E scott Esbeck in guitar and bass, Phil Mass sound and lights.  Tom Tatman at Catamount recordings was the Engineer.   Just a note, technical difficulties and strep throat cut his show short.  I could talk about the Blue band for hours and hours!!
