This episode is on guitarist Jim McCarty.  He played in Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, Buddy Miles Express, Cactus, The Rockets and some lesser know bands. Jim MaCarty is better known as rock guitars but listen to this CD and you will hear Jim has been very underrated.  The new CD Jim McCarty & Friends changes styles of blues through out the CD as well as bands and guest artists.  The only thing that doesn’t change is how impressive all these songs.
Jim McCarty & Friends is a home run or it could be a great Christmas gift.

This week I have an interview with Aaron Moreland from the band Moreland & Arbuckle.  Aaron was one of the very early blues artists I got to interview and I’m very happy their band has become so popular.  Their last two CD’s, 1861 and Flood, did very well but the new CD, Just a Dream is even harder hitting than the last ones.  You are going to be hearing a lot of their unique sound in the coming months as Just a Dream climes the charts.

This week I have one of my two favorite artists of the year on Dana Fuchs.  Dana is one of the most powerful singers around today.  She starred in the leading roll of the off-Broadway show “Love, Janis” about Janis Joplin and stole the show in the film “Across the Universe”.  Now Dana Fuchs has one of the very best CD’s I’ve heard this year, Love To Beg. Which Dana and guitarist Jon Diamond wrote all but one of the songs on.  Love To Beg is a must have CD.  Her last CD, Dana Fuchs Live In NYC, is right up there too.
