  • The Ledge #652: Covers

    I’ve always said that I have a folder on my laptop where I toss any great cover version that I encounter, and when that folder is “full” it’s time for an all-covers show.

    Well, I noticed earlier this week that said folder was close to that level, but I also was made aware that Monday, January 20, was the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s Blood On the Tracks album. Surely, I had a few remakes of tunes from that classic record.

    Add a handful of Dylan tunes and I was ready. Yet I received another little surprise just a few hours before this week’s broadcast. Our friends at Big Stir Records sent their upcoming Sorrows album. Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow is an unreleased record that the original lineup recorded back in 1981. With the reunited group now signed to the label, it certainly makes sense that Big Stir would let us finally hear this power pop classic!

  • The Ledge #646: New Releases Pt. 2

    Part two of the December new release series also is noteworthy for being the final new release episode of the year! What a fantastic 12 months of tunes we’ve enjoyed, and this episode is a perfect exmple. There’s a ton of new tracks from our friends at Rum Bar Records, including the fabulous new album by Dirty Truckers’ leader Tom Baker. Justine & Me is inspired by Baker’s partner Justine Covault, who tragically passed away in the summer of 2023.  

    There’s also fabulous new tracks by veteran rockers such as Ike Reilly, Lucinda Williams, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and many others. There’s a handful of D.O.A. covers from a fantastic new tribute album, No Escape From What You Are. And, as always, there’s always some brand new bands getting their first airing on my show.

    Oh yeah, and there’s also a sampling of some classics from a number of reissues from The Green Pajamas, Talking Heads, and the long-awaited (I’m) Stranded box set by The Saints!
