Episode #1000

It's our 1000th episode, but in true TTBTGH fashion, we're going to forego the festivities for another week so we can do something a little special. In hour 1, we've got some exciting upcoming shows to preview. This show was recorded just before our friend Jim Bryson came to town for a show at my house and to head out to the Trout Forest Music Festival. I've said for years that Jim is a true cornerstone of my collection, and of Canadian music in general, because he's helped, inspired, and produced an incredible list of artists. To prove that, I dug up as many of the projects that Jim's been a part of as I could. In the end, I had more than 4 hours of material to fit into two hours of the show, so there's plenty left over, but I think it presents a pretty in-depth look at the remarkable career of one of Canada's true most valuable musicians. If you're looking for a more straight up "best of" Jim's own material, check out last week's show.

Next week, I plan to have something special to mark the 1000th episode.

** Note: This show was recorded before news broke that Robbie Robertson had died. Obviously, his influence on the music that I play on this show is immense, so we'll pay proper tribute soon. **
