Fighting the mobs of people at the shops and malls has me worn down a bit. One of the things I’m not a fan of is the playing of holiday music so far in advance of Christmas. By this time of the month, I’m already tired of the traditional tunes and so I decided to ward off the holiday blues by offering my own “Holiday Blues”.

Changes are underway with the sound of The Big Break Music Podcast. I’m working on new show opener/closing segments and other content for the show. New submissions of CDs and MP3s from bands and artists arrive in my mail almost every day now and I continue to find excellent independent music all across the Internet.

Todays show features only a few tunes that have been played on the show before. Most music in this episode comes from new artists or tracks from returning bands not yet aired.

As usual we start off rocking with a song by Trey Sansom called King Of My Hill. Brother Love has a new album out and we play the title track Turn It Up. A great piano boogie follows with Tommy Keys playing Rum Boogie Woogie. We close out the first set with the song I Had Me A Woman from the Mike Goudreau Band.

I start off the second set with an energetic Southern/Rock tune from the band Rebel Storm called Takin All I Can. We are getting rain here for the first time in quite awhile, so I felt like playing Hurricane by the Scott Weis Band. Another new artist I found on Myspace this week is the Janet Lynn Band and her song Where You Been So Long. Following that track we hear Joe Bonamassa sing his song Asking Around For You from his 2006 CD “You and Me“.

The third set kicks off with the Jamie McLean band with the song Woman Stay. I make it a point to catch Jamie’s show whenever he’s town. We roll right into the song Mean Evil Woman by the Jackie Payne/Steve Edmonson Band from their CD “Master Of The Game“. I add a little country flair to the mix with Baby I Love You by Diana Page. And we close out the show with Strange Voodoo by Robert Waugneux (one-you).

We also hear a message from Ron Stroope of the Zip71101 podcast asking for our support for Karmyn Tyler’s sister Diane who lost everything recently in a house fire. Donations can be made via PayPal by clicking here.

My weekend job being part of the road crew for a regional cover band has kept me busy. Just got off from a 14 hour day and will be doing it all over again tomorrow. I’m tired and a little sore but still in the mood for some great independent music.

We start off with a excellent song by the Scotty Meyer Band called Pay The Price. A new band that I found on the Podsafe Music Network called Sister Hazel brings us a blues-rock track called Shame that I liked the first time I heard it .

Ron Rutherford raises his Freak Flag high from the Lone Wolf CD. The Reverend Jimmie Bratcher tells us all about Beautiful People and Deacon Jones tells the story of having Nothin But The Blues.

Friendship with your next-door neighbor is the theme told by Mark LaForme with Good Morning Mrs. Johnson. I get to play another great track from the Five Dimes CD by The Bluescasters called Spin Club. Mean Gene Kelton and The Diehards plays a fine rendition of Polk Salad Annie. Fine blues and harmonica fill out the tune Gulf Port Strut by The Smokin’ Mojo Kings.

Dan Lawson with Outway St. brings us back from our break, followed by Come Up And See Me Sometime by Teresa James and The Rhythm Tramps off their album Oh Yeah.

The beautiful and talented Whitney Steele has just released a brand new video for her album Storm Warning. From down-under we next hear the fabulous voice of Brisbane, Australia’s own Melissa Forbes with Blackheart Blues from her CD No More Mondays. We close out the show a song from Martha Redbone’s album Skin Talk called Hard Living.

This week has been very busy as I’ve been doing a significant re-model of our studio. My new Macbook Pro arrived and I decided to change my equipment layout used for recording the show. So this weeks show has more of a slower pace than usual. You get to hear a number of different styles and genres. I think this episode and last week’s one as well provide a look into my musical soul.

I start off the show with music from a new band to The Big Break called The Bluescasters. The song is called Fat Eddie’s Diner off their “Five Dimes” CD. Following that tune we have the Reverend Jimmy Bratcher with Three Chords from “Red”.

The music from Heart’s Ann Wilson solo album “Hope & Glory” is highlighted with her song Where To Now St. Peter, which features background vocals by Sir Elton John. The band Red Letter brings us a favorite song of mine called You Don’t Change from their 2006 CD “Wishbone“.

The latest release from the beautiful and talented Whitney Steele is up next with Where Did You Go. Chris Church’s song Oh So Gone is next. Be sure to check out the interview with Chris Church I featured on The Big Break # 62.

Sara Spade makes a return visit with her song All You Want from her 2004 CD of the same name. The beautiful voice of Beth Hirsch singing Indelibly You always puts me in a smooth jazz-like vibe everytime I hear it.

Another past interview guest on The Big Break is Dahlia Wakefield, and this week’s selection is from her 2006 CD “Down This Road” and is the title track Down This Road. Laura Hughes brings us her song Full Of Grace.

Once again I play music from an interview guest. This time Ruby James offers up her song Passengers from her EP “Sweet As Sin“. Ron Rutherford brings us Lone Wolf, the title track off his latest CD. I close out this episode with the incomparable vocal talents of Karmyn Tyler and her song Drifting.
