The devil's music, they called it, and kept calling it right up through the 1950's, when rhythm and blues gave way to rock and roll. The push back by the “adults” would only get worse as the music became less restrained and more shocking, to some. We begin this episode in the American south, six years to the day before Jimi Hendrix was born. EVERY THURSDAY, you get a new podcast version of the weekly Records and Rockstars Radio Show episodes.

Sara May is the lead singer and songwriter of her project Falcon Jane. She might remind you of Emmylou Harris. Sometimes there's a hint of Cyndi Lauper. But mostly, it's Sara May. Sometimes haunting and sometimes just plain sweet, she performs new songs and she's convinced to go back to the very beginning, with the first song she ever wrote. Comes with a great story too. And we go to the new album “Faith” and play the title song and she covers the big one from Chris Isaak. Wonderful episode.

Austin Texas based keyboardist J. Stiles is known for his working with Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar, but that's just a bit of the story of the go-to player who's vibe is as chill as his heart is big, and talent immense, on vintage keyboard instruments and feel-good melodies and vocals. Otherwise known as Crystal Finger, Jay brings along drummer/backing singer Kolston Gogan from Collingwood Ontario, and performs and tells stories about his residencies in Austin clubs and lots more. A must for lovers of keyboards, ska, reggae, soul and a good time.

Ever heard a one stringed electric uke through a VOX amp? Nobody sounds quite like this punk rock, spoken wordsmith, who counts some 65 day jobs and four countries of residence and gigs from Toronto clubs to kids shoe stores to ladies lingerie shows to the London Palladium. The obsession of writing and the need to perform has remained with him through hell and high water. He performs several original songs the likes of which you've never before heard, and the conversation is rich, too.
