Re-broadcast Saturday June 17, 2017 on www.bluesandrootsradio.com

George Mann joined me in the studio this week. A former labor union organizer and activist, George talked about life on the road for a socially relevant musician and he performed several songs live in the studio. We also discussed a compilation CD of songs that George produced focusing on post-traumatic stress disorder and the cost of war to our military families, “Until You Come Home: Songs for Veterans and Their Kin”. (You can hear the interview/performance by clicking on the link below.)

Also, new and noteworthy – TOM CHAPIN Threads (Sundance Music), LORETTA HAGEN Lucky Stars (self) and DEBORAH ROBINS Home Fires (Zippety Whippett).
