Today we present new albums by Howe Gelb of Giant Sand, which is one of his budget home recordings. Yet it sounds wonderfully intimate and we warmly recommend it. Thee Oh Sees experiment with some new styles for them on their new record store day release Moon Sick EP. New bands today are Miss Chain and The Broken Heels from Italy and Tijuana Panthers from California. I’m on a Mick Taylor kick, so we hear two of his amazing guitar solos today. Another great guitar legend who gets a spotlight in this show is Duane Allman. There’s a new 7CD set anthology dedicated to his work and career. And in the end, we are saying goodbye to one the greatest voices in music ever, George Jones who passed away last week at 81.
