In reviewing his last album which featured Bethany & Peter Yarrow, American Blues Scene wrote "they say there'll never be another Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson, but Jim Stanard draws from the same well of weathered experience."

On this week's show, we catch up with a flurry of singles from the past several weeks with a Music Dance Experience Mix Tape featuring - but not limited to - fresh tracks from HAIM, The Waterboys & Chappell Roan. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Massy FergusonHailing from Seattle, Massy Ferguson has spent the better part of two decades exploring both sides of the country-rock divide.  You Can't Tell Me I'm Not What I Used To Be, the band's seventh album, expands beyond that mix of amplified twang and raw, guitar-driven bang. If Massy Ferguson's previous records unfolded like soundtracks for loud, lively evenings at the bar, then You Can't Tell Me I'm Not What I Used To Be explores a different sort of sonic real estate. This is the band's cinematic version of rootsy American music, produced by Damien Jurado—an idiosyncratic folksinger celebrated for his craft as much as his unpredictability—and filled with vintage tones, analog production, lush instrumentation, and the sharp songwriting that's always been the bedrock of Massy Ferguson's music.  http://www.makingascene.org

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Will WildeWill Wilde is a force to be reckoned with—a phenomenal harmonica player with a voice to match.Will's intense harmonica style steals the spotlight from the traditional blues rock guitar, with a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson. "I'm always looking to make new sounds with the harmonica, pushing its boundaries, trying to change people's perception of it.” In fact, Will has gone one step further and created his own signature "Wilde Tuned" harmonicas so he can play licks that weren't possible before. “They enable me to hold my own with any blues rock guitarist.” http://www.makingascene.org

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Al Lauro of Big Al and the HeavyweightsThe music of Big Al and the Heavyweights begins with the beat laid down by drummer Big Al himself.  Big Al Lauro was born and raised in the city of New Orleans.  He grew up surrounded by the unique culture of the city that care forgot.  The food, the language, and of course the music became a part of him as surely as he became a part of New Orleans.  Year after year he saw Mardi through the eyes of a child, with a wonderment and jubilation that continues today in the music of Big Al and the Heavyweights.  His drumming has been described by Blues Brother Dan Akroyd as the “pounding, driving force” behind the music of The Heavyweights. http://www.makingascene.org

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with YEV!SLAVA UKRAINEYEV's self-titled debut album is a poignant and powerful introduction to the artist's dynamic voice, blending cinematic folk rock, modern blues, vintage pop, and the soulful resonance of his Ukrainian heritage.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Geoff AchisonGeoff Achison was born on Phillip Island, Victoria. He is the third of five siblings and was raised in the Victorian rural village of Malmsbury. His journey in music began when he discovered a forgotten old guitar beneath the stairwell of the family home. His trumpet-playing father enthusiastically found him a guitar teacher, and his first gigs were with his dad's old-time dance band. The young guitarist displayed enough promise to attract the attention of local jazz musician Alan Watson. Through his new mentor, he was exposed to jazz and improvisation. At Watson's suggestion, Geoff temporarily switched to bass-guitar, which provided him with a greater understanding of the rhythm section. http://www.makingascene.org

Grammy-winning Southern roots rock duo Larkin Poe (sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell) join us to chat about their creative process and their exciting forthcoming album, Bloom. PART ONE:'Tis the season! Scott and Paul chat about the classic Halloween songs. Is it time for a modern day resurgence of spooky music?PART TWO:Our in-depth conversation with sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, known to the world as duo Larkin PoeABOUT LARKIN POE:Blues-based rock duo Larkin Poe is comprised of multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell. The Georgia natives began their career as an acoustic trio with their sister Jessica in 2004. That year they appeared on A Prairie Home Companion and won the Prairie Home National Teen Talent Competition. In 2008, the Lovell Sisters' song “Distance” won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest grand prize in the country genre. That same year, their song “Time to Grow” received honorable mention in the International Songwriting Competition. After an impressive indie career that included two albums, as well as appearances at Bonaroo and the Grand Ole Opry, the Lovell Sisters disbanded. Rebecca and Megan reemerged as a duo pursuing a new sound that was steeped in the electric blues rather than acoustic and bluegrass music. Between 2010 and 2013 they released five indie EPs, two collaborative albums, and a live DVD. They released their debut album as a duo in 2014 and gained attention with the standout track “Don't.” In 2016 they reissued their debut studio album under the title Reskinned, which included new tracks such as “Trouble in Mind.” With the 2017 album Peach, Megan and Rebecca took the production reigns and continued to build a following. The next year's Venom & Faith reached #1 on Billboard's Blues Album chart and earned the sisters their first Grammy nomination. Their sixth studio album, Blood Harmony, garnered another Grammy nomination, which resulted in their first Grammy win in 2024. Larkin Poe's latest album is called Bloom and is set for release in January of 2025.
