Steel Belted Radio - January 5, 2017 - part 1

A bunch of rambling around this evening, with a Sunset Saloon show announcement, some 2016 house concert memories, a seemingly random and unprovoked tribute to ALT, another seemingly random look at the year 2008, and a look ahead to some eagerly anticipated 2017 releases!

January 1, 2017 - part 1 - Hank Williams Tribute

Episode #675

The latest in our annual series of holiday marathons where we take over some of the extra time in the schedule and stretch out and get deep into some themes and songs we don't listen to often. It's January 1, and the anniversary of the deaths of two of the most significant writers of all time, so tributes to Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt to start things off. 2016 was a pretty ruthless year when it came to killing off a lot of important artists, so we take time to remember a few of those who might have been overshadowed by bigger names. We're also working hard, trying to narrow down the Best of 2016 list, so we listen to some favourites from the year and continue to shape the official list.
