Last week I posted the Jon Dee Graham podcast that was recorded after a show at the Woodlands Tavern. This week is Graham’s tour mate, Mike June. Prior to the show I was very unfamiliar with June’s work, but I was sold halfway through the first song in his set.

Throughout his hour on the stage, June played tunes that had a social ring to them as well as more personal material.  He leaned heavily on tracks from the two records that he released last year, Exile on Wilson Street and Talkin’ Revolution Blues, and after hearing them live, I was convinced both of those records were excellent (I now own the latter and my assumptions were overwhelmingly correct).

After the show Mike was kind enough to wait until the taping of the Graham podcast was over and sit down with me to record another. We found the common ground of 80’s baseball, talked about his self imposed exile in Austin, Texas and the recording of the album that was born from it.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed getting to know Mike and his music. Go to his website : www.MikeJune.com and buy a couple records.
