2020 has been an unmitigated disaster in almost every regard except for new music, which has been outstanding. Today we're going to look at some of our favourites in hopes that you might add some music to your online shopping list or your own wish list, especially with the final Bandcamp Friday of the year coming up this week. These aren't necessarily all of the best songs & albums of the year, just some of our standout favourites.

The new music rollout is slowing down, so not as much of the fresh stuff this week, but we've got a bunch left over from Bandcamp day and previous weeks to keep us busy. We've also got some great requests and we celebrate the birthday of one of our most played and beloved artists this week, and mark the first anniversary of the death of another.

Another week, another of the all-time greatest songwriters gone. Last week we paid tribute to Jerry Jeff Walker, and this week we say a fond farewell to Billy Joe Shaver, one of the most revered and covered songwriters of them all. Billy Joe lived through just about every danger and tragedy there is, so I was starting to think that he was immortal, but 2020 has a nasty way of proving everyone's mortality. Billy Joe leaves behind a catalogue full of incredible songs that will be sung forever, and the first hour of the show is full of only some of the best. In hour two, we've got some more new music, requests, and other stuff. Keep your loved ones and songwriting icons in your thoughts and prayers folks. Let's keep each other safe so I don't have to do any more tributes this year.

2020 strikes again and takes another music icon/legend. This weekend, Jerry Jeff Walker lost his battle with throat cancer, and we've lost one of the greats of songwriting and performing. Today on the show, a heartfelt tribute featuring words and music from Todd Snider, Jerry Jeff's biggest fan and close friend, and a whole lot of music from the man himself. After that, we've got a pile of new and timely music to round things out.

Fresh off a trip to the dentist, I thought it was time to pay some tribute to proper dental care, but we've also got a pile of great new (and new-to-me) music and a few feel-good Canadian classics.

It's Thanksgiving weekend and as always, we're thankful for great music to get us through, and there's a whole bunch of great stuff here today. We've got another pile of great new music, including the haul from the last Bandcamp day, some great requests, we celebrate some significant local birthdays, and we explore the life and incredible talent of Eddie Van Halen by picking out some of the folkier sounds from his amazing work.

On the show today we've got some more great new music, even if we haven't actually heard some of it yet, some overdue requests, and we check in with some artists that I used to really love but for one reason or another haven't connected with as much over the years.

A few real gems among the new releases but otherwise one of the quietest weeks in recent memory, so we spent a lot of time listening to old favourites including some of the seemingly few great double albums.
