We start off with two new tunes from Ezra Furman from Boston. Then we have a new super-duet by Neil Michael Hagerty from Royal Trux and James Jackson Toth from Wooden Wand. The band is called Hagerty Toth Band. We play a brand new tune from The Cynics, which I recorded at their live show in Cleveland. Cairo Gang come from Chicago. The brightest spot in today’s show is the introduction of the new LP Gravy for Faux Killas from Memphis, which is probably the best album that came out this year so far.

We follow Laura Cantrell’s career since the inception of this show and she has a new record out called No Way There From Here. Another band that’s been with us since the first year of this show is Electric Six, although back then their name was Wild Bunch. We watched them go to the top and they have one record a year without breaks almost all the time. The new record is called Magnum. James Jackson Toth, aka Wooden Wand is also back with the new record backed by his band World War IV from Birmingham, AL. The most interesting novelty this time is a new singer songwriter from Melbourne, Australia. His name is Ben Mason. He re-recorded the Zombies classic The Odessey And Oracle and renamed it into The Odessey Odyssey. I think it’s an awesome idea to take one of the most intricate records and show that you are capable of repeating it note to note – it’s a great way to make people pay attention to your own work.
Everybody already knows quite well that The Rolling Stones famous album Exile on Main Street has recently been reissued in a luxurious remastered new edition. It indeed sounds great, and much of today’s show is dedicated to this album. We also take some time to hear some new stuff. Super-trio Dirtmusic which consists of Chris Eckman, Hugo Race and Chris Brokaw has a second album called BKO. We also have a new name for the first time. His name is James Jackson Toth AKA Wooden Wand.
