SMC on Facebook - "LIKE" me!

Okay, I've caved big-time!

Yepper...succumbed to peer pressure and set-up an SMC Facebook Page.

Go ahead,

*Happy Birthday JESSE WINCHESTER! *

Born May 17, 1944, Shreveport, LA

(actually across the river in Bosier City!)

He's one of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters and has been covered by everyone from Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris and The McGarrigles to Waylon Jennings and Wynonna Judd.

Plenty of people know his songs, plenty more have no idea who actually wrote Buffet's crowd pleaser, "Rhumba Man," "Defying Gravity" and "Biloxi."

HOT TIP: You'll have a chance to hear it straight from the man himself when he joins me on Sunday Morning Country next weekend (5/22, btwn 10am and 2pm) to sing a few tunes and tell us what he's been up to lately!

* Elvis Costello's "ALMOST BLUE" Is 30 Years Old *

In honor of Elvis Costello's appearance this week at The Wang Center, I'll be spinning his terrific 1981 Country release
"Almost Blue"

Hard to believe this gem is now 30 years old!

Tune in!

* FINALLY! Bill Russell to Get Statue *

Whoo-hoo!
(and . . please place it next to Red's in Faneuil Hall!)
I'll post more as it unfolds.

'Til then click on the image for the lastest from The Boston Globe!

** This Sunday 5/1 - Eric Brace & Peter Cooper LIVE on SMC @ 11:30am **

Hot off a northeast tour opening for the legendary John Prine, Eric Brace and Peter Cooper will be stopping by the studio to play a few songs, give us the scoop on their latest release, "The Master Sessions," the new Tom T. Hall project and their respective music projects (Eric's Last Train Home recordings; Peter's solo recordings and production work with the likes of Fayssoux McLean).

No doubt, a lot of ground to cover and be able to make their flight back to Nashville, TN!
We're hoping for an 11:30am start time.

As a primer, take a look at some of the links below AND be sure to tune in on Sunday for the WORLD RADIO DEBUT of the brand new, star-studded, not out til 5/23, "I LOVE: Tom T. Hall's Songs of Fox Hollow" release from Red Beet Records and The Country Music Foundation.
