Here's a little taste from the new album If I Left This World, by Hadacol co-founder Greg Wickham. Check out the full review in the Listening Room... This is a track from the fabulous album "Great Lakes." He has a new record coming soon, but for now, check out this fine track... Check out the EPK for Migration Blues posted below...then click on the Listening Room tab for a write up on this timely release from Eric Bibb... Check out a trio of great new records in the Listening Room.  Gorgeous acoustic guitar picking from Cary Morin, Native Americana at its best...  Cantankerous Big Dave McLean is back gousing the blues again, much to our delight. Sin and salvation and gospel blues, he who has ears to hear...  Natalie Hemby's debut is a masterclass in songwriting. 2017 has barely started and already one of the best albums of the year is here.
 One of the best cds I have heard in recent months is actually a cd/dvd combo. It is a live film of the NGDB celebrating their fiftieth anniversary with Jackson Browne, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, Alison Krauss, Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, Sam Bush, Byron House, Jerry Douglas, and Jimmy Ibbotson. Roots music heaven! Click on the Listening Room for more...
 One of the great things about writing about artists and music is that every now and then I get to interview an artist who is part of my sound track... that playlist in my head. Jeff Hanna of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is one of those artists. I found him to be very approachable and we talked for nearly an hour and half. Check it out in Just Sayin'...
