Rob's Unfold Radio show has been running for 2 decades, showcasing the finest talent on the label, as well as dropping some of his own VIP Dubplates - well worth a listen.

Pleased as punch to share that Til Willis made his return to Badass Records after an 80-episode gap; if you're doin' the math at home, he was here for Episode No. 83 back in September of 2023, and it was a great one. Highly recommend you visit (or revisit) it.This time around -- for Episode No. 163 -- it was smooth sailing' for Til and I to pick up where we left off last time, and talk about a healthy bunch of cool stuff.At the forefront of said stuff, Glass Cactus, the new album from Til Willis & Erratic Cowboy, drops today, Thursday, March 27th. Not only can you acquire your own physical copy of this latest release at tilwillis.net, or via tilwillis.bandcamp.com, you can stream it or download it from either of those places or wherever it is that you stream your music.There's more, though: We chewed the fat about songwriting, recording, gigging, a super-cool sound space in Rangely, CO, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the episode's list of badass records, which -- by the way -- are all friends, acquaintances, and partners of Til's. Those records were these:Miracle Mule (2004), The SubdudesPierced Arrows' Descending Shadows (2010)Growing Season (2013), GardenheadsFaceman's Wild & Hunting (2016)Santa Lucia (2019), WindwolvesTil's on Instagram and Facebook, and certainly worthy of a follow, in that he not only posts cool stuff about his life and music/band updates. He shares art. Yes, Til makes cool collages and shares not only those, but the occasional version of stuff he creates in other mediums, so please consider checking him out.It was both a pleasure and an honor to welcome Til back to town from LFK, and I couldn't possibly dork out any harder about how the timing of our talk -- plus the coinciding release of this episode and Glass Cactus -- worked out. Thank you, Til. And cheers to those Erratic Cowboys.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio samples contained within this episode.
