Season 3, Episode 46

For our first episode of 2023, we thought we'd take a look at a couple of recent albums.   We have Shriekback's Bowlahoola, which was released at the very tail-end of 2022 and The Waterboys' All Souls Hill, which came out earlier in that year.

In music news we talk about the new Peter Gabriel single, Siouxsie Sioux's return to the stage, an upcoming Michael Stipe album and the passing of Terry Hall.

We spend quality time with brand new records from Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever & Steve Earle & The Dukes, as well as sprawling epics from The Waterboys & Bob Dylan. We bear witness to the triumphant return of Kathleen Edwards & Orville Peck's leap from indie to major label. Plus, we get a glimpse of how 1975 could have been a very different year for Neil Young. All this & much, much less!
