In this episode, Eric speaks with two-time Juno nominee and prolific songwriter, Lori Yates. She is sometimes remembered as "the cowgirl who was singing her heart out in the punk clubs with Rang Tango".  She is still singing her heart out, both as a solo artist and member of the super-group Hey Stella. Lori has been long recognized by her peers and respected as one of Canada's top talents.  Lori was called Alt Country long before the phrase existed.  A true pioneer of a genre in the making.
