Another podcast version of the weekly radio show - this time nothin' but songs for your baby, baby, spanning 1935 to now. Soul, blues, torch, twang, Rock 'n' Roll, Motown, British Invasion, southern troubadours, Heartbreakers, and even a guy named Theodore, all singing sweet sweet songs for baby.

The evolution of this Canadian band from trio, to foursome, with the addition of Marek Barlow on lead guitar, takes what was a good time, and propels it to a seriously dangerous funk flavoured boogie time rock and roll machine. Their front man Dave Loopstra is back to talk behind the other guys back, with compliments and studio recordings that rock. Dave pulls out his banjo and drops a couple live performances too.

This ain't no frat house bro' party. This is music and music history with stories about musicians and albums and songs, in an episode with nothing but cold shots. Think Stevie Ray and hazy shades of winter and listen in.

You mightn't expect a 23 year old to possess a voice reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot, or expect him to sing about the early history of Canada. But Brennen Sloan is cut from a cloth unique, and he comes armed with acoustic guitar for his return to Wild Woods Blue to play and to chat with Jeff about his travels that inspired these new songs, 3 of which he'll do live and we'll go directly to the record for 3 more. A 6 pack of Canadiana, by the artist who made his mama cry – he'll tell you why, and about how he decides to go cowboy hat, or ballcap. Songs about Billy Bishop, and Tobermory, and the formation of the RCMP and the expansion of the Canadian west, and about the location in which we're talking music and history – The Blue Mountains of Ontario.

Glenn Milchem is best known as the drummer for the some 2000 concerts performed, and four million albums sold by Blue Rodeo, and he's also performed behind everyone from Big Sugar to Ian Thornley, Ian Blurton, Andy Curran, Art Bergman, and @joansmithandthejanedoes and @mrpharmacist

For Glenn's first visit to Records & Rockstars, he comes armed with a vintage Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar and does a couple of his own original songs!

Plus conversation finds Glenn telling stories about when he first knew he wanted to be a musician, why he chose drums, the one “straight job” he took on for a minute, plus the bands he's moonlighting with, as he names what he calls one of the greatest drumming records of all time, and speaks to Blue Rodeo's inductions, and songs, and current lineup, plus his love for The Sadies and for the dearly departed Dallas Good, and so much more.

We have a list of words we'd be happy to see go away anytime soon (pivot, narrative, divisive, bandwidth), but one word we're thrilled to see having a unexpected comeback? MAGIC. So this time, songs about that.
