Whiskey Jack have been making music together for over 40 years. Band leader and banjo player Duncan Fremlin, joins us on Episode 452 of Folk Roots Radio to chat about the band, and their experience on the road with Stompin' Tom Connors, as his tour band. Since Stompin' Tom's death in 2013, Whiskey Jack have been keeping his songs and legacy alive with a tribute show "Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom". Chatting with Duncan was great fun, and it’s a great interview - and definitely worth sticking around for. As usual, we also check out more of the latest new releases, and this time around it's new music from Villages, The Maes, Jay Gavin And The Tired Sunday Choir and the Tired Sunday Choir, Mike Klein, Jean-Paul De Roover and David Kaufman.

Whiskey Jack have been making music together for over 40 years. In the 1980's, they were featured weekly on the The 'Ol' Back Porch' of the CBC's Tommy Hunter Show. In 1993 they joined Stompin' Tom in the studio to make the album "Dr. Stompin' Tom... Eh?" before becoming his tour band. Since Stompin' Tom's death in 2013, they have been keeping his songs and legacy alive with a tribute show "Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom". Whiskey Jack band leader and banjo player Duncan Fremlin joined us on Folk Roots Radio to chat about the show, his new biography of his days on the road with Tom, and a new album "Rhymes and Good Times with Stompin' Tom".

A great conversation with Brian Edwards of Rocklands Entertainment. Brian had an early start at 17 promoting and booking shows and hasn't looked back since. Tommy Hunter, Stompin' Tom, Rita MacNeil, Kitty Wells, Charley Pride, Frank Mills and Red Green are just a small sampling of the artist Brian has worked with. They don't get any better than this.

As the leaves turn to bright reds and golden yellows in our fast approaching fall season, nightmares of long snowy winters begin to occupy our minds. After all, it is September. For some, September means back to school. For us, this month also means leaving the enchanted woods where we record this podcast to venture into the world. Don’t worry, Matt went and returned safe. At least from what we can see. We talk cognitive nutritional supplements in a new Top 5. Hockey Night at the Museum (25:25) If you live or have travelled to Canada, you’ve been exposed to hockey in some way. From local team fundraising drives to very public NHL product endorsement, and from outdoor rinks lit throughout the night to the quasi-ubiquitous talk about who will win the Stanley Cup this season: hockey is a part of Canada, there is little denying that. But what happens when hockey becomes part of an exhibit meant to be a celebration of the influence of the game? Could the confines of the museum trap hockey, limiting our impression of just how pan-Canadian the game is? Or could this exhibit, created to align with Canada’s 150 celebrations, show us that hockey is much more ingrained in the mostly barren frozen land we call Canada? Matt spent a night at the Canadian Museum of History’s exhibit, appropriately entitled, Hockey in Canada: More than Just a Game! Matt gives us a thorough runthrough of the display as we dive into the socio-cultural aspects of the exhibit. We explore gender, race, Aboriginal and First Nations’ representation as we pick apart the revisionist portrayal of how hockey has made Canada and, how Canadians have made hockey. For more information on the exhibit visit: http://www.historymuseum.ca/hockey/ Recommendations (1:06:50) Matt recommends Writing Excuses Podcast and two short works of science fiction: Arthur C. Clarke’s Of Time and Stars; Isaac Asimov’s Short Story Bibliography Phil recommends Netflix’s Luke Cage Concluding thought:  “I like ice hockey. No one is ever going to ask me to write about that as a metaphor for life” ― Steven Pinker Make sure to check out the Poplar Cove podcast, on iTunes, Stitcher or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Two weeks ago, we dedicated our show to the brand new 50th anniversary collection honouring the one and only Stompin' Tom Connors, featuring interviews with George Canyon, Corb Lund, and Whiskey Jack. This week, we're revisiting that collection in a chat with Andy Curran of Anthem Legacy and ole Label Group, one of the architects of this special collection. He talks about how the album came together, what went into selecting the track list, and more. Mike recently sat down with one of the country's fastest-rising hip-hop artists, iLLvibe, and renowned artist and producer Myer Clarity. The two chat about their latest collaboration, We Are the Aliens, the state of hip-hop in Canada, and more. And finally, R&B singer Patrick Lehman joins us to chat about current projects, including the follow up to his Juno-nominated release Butchy's Son and songwriting sessions in L.A., Nashville, and his home city of Montreal.

In honour of Canada Day and the Canada 150 celebrations, this week's show is a special one dedicated to the quintessential Canadian troubadour, Stompin' Tom Connors. Anthem Legacy, an imprint of ole Label Group, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of the country's most prolific and icon artists with a release featuring 14 of his best-known hits along with four covers by the likes of Corb Lund, The Cuddy/Polley Family band, Whiskey Jack, and George Canyon. Join us as we chat with three of those artists - Corb Lund, Whiskey Jack, and George Canyon - about Stompin' Tom's legacy, his influence on so many Canadian songwriters, and the compilation's goal of sharing his iconic catalogue with a new generation of music fans.

No we are not talking about Stompin' Tom. Indeed, I really can't stand his music. I am sure he is a nice guy.... It is Jonathan's birthday tomorrow, and he loves Sudbury and hotels, so we went to Sudbury today. I am typing this from the fabulous Holiday Inn in the nickel city. We talked a bit about Sudbury, a town I lived in as a kid, and about #awareness and when it actually has its uses.

With Rosie sick, Mike's brother Ryan steps in to fill the void.  Topics include the Pope, Stompin' Tom, hockey songs and a few stories Toronto Mike doesn't want you to hear.
