Today, we've got a bit of a tribute to the man who inspired the show's name, new music, covers, exciting concert news, birthday love for one of our longtime listeners and friends, we look ahead to tonight's final edition of The Way We Feel: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot, and more!

New music, discoveries, revisiting some of this year's best albums, and an hour of truck drivin' songs shamelessly inspired by this week's terrific Boots & Saddle theme show.

Episode #1052
New music aplenty, an hour of Girls Play Guys, where women sing songs by men, and a tribute to some of the incredible music that came out of our city and country during the 1990s, after yet another big sporting event 90s night that didn't acknowledge or play a single local band or artist. Oy vey. Good thing we're here!

Episode #1050
Every once in a while, it's fun to go digging through the CD library, the archives, and my failing memory banks in search of musical treasure that I haven't heard & played in a while. This episode is made up of 3 hours of great songs that don't come up in the rotation all that often, so they definitely deserve a refresher and another listen.

Episode #1048
Pre-recorded today because we still can't access the studio due to work going on at the university. Pre-recorded episodes sometimes allow me to explore a theme that I've been thinking about and spin some artists and songs that you don't normally hear on the show. Today's show contains a lot of stuff outside of the usual folky singer/songwriter fare. I'm pretty sure that some of you will hate some of it, but I bet if you give it a chance, you might just hear something you adore.
Today's show is an exploration of one offs and one hit wonders. These aren't your typical one hit wonders, these are either bands & artists that only released one project or an album or song that stands out in a band/artist's catalogue as being a bigger "hit" than the rest. It's very subjective and totally for fun and in no way meant as any kind of an insult to any of the bands/artists! After all, as the opening number tells us, one hit wonders have achieved something that very few do! These aren't major hits destined for hits compilations, they're beloved favourites that I enjoy revisiting over and over again. I hope that you will too!
