Emma Swift

We have a couple of new names today. We start off with Coffis Brothers from Santa Cruz, CA. Daniel Donato comes from Nashville and we have a new one from Molly Tuttle from San Francisco with a phenomenal cover of She’s A Rainbow. Coming back, we have Kathleen Edwards from Canada and legendary Mary Chapin Carpenter featuring Duke Levine on killer lead guitar together in a stunning tribute to The Rolling Stones. We also check out John Dowler’s new track and we are especially delighted to hear Dan Penn’s new tunes. Emma Swift has a new record and it’s entirely consisted of Bob Dylan covers. The record is cleverly titled Blonde on The Tracks.

Shivering TimbersWe start off today with the new single for Sweet Apple. It’s a cover of Alice Cooper’s Elected. Then we check out the new band from Los Angeles, Blackfeet Braves. Los Straitjackets follow with their instrumental version of Nirvana’s Teen Spirit. Then we introduce new band from Australia, The Laurels. Shivering Timbers from Akron are in our Live in Cleveland segment. We also check out the new record for legendary Graham Parker. Some new reissues/archives are out as well. Jacke Deshannon’s final installment of her 60’s singles and Dan Penn’s soulful demos.

If you have time and you’re in Cleveland, stop by the Blue Arrow Records this Saturday where I’ll be playing a DJ set from 4 to 6pm. As usual, visitors will get some CDs with previous shows and a few lucky ones will also get (legal) download codes of some recent albums. There will be no Christmas tunes in the set-list! The rest is a surprise. Stick around, at 6pm there’ll be the Lake Erie comic book release party at the same location.
