Hey gang! I’ve been feeling really out of sorts the last few days. Not “sick” exactly, just tired and unfocused. I haven’t had the creative energy to write so I’m going to have to skip this week’s release again!!! Apologies! I promise I’ll be back next week when I’m back at it.

Heya folks! Just a heads up that this week's episode will be a day or two late. It "should" be ready on Thursday but there's a very slight possibility that it will be Friday. I'll let you know but for regular listeners, check your pod players on Thursday! #EpisodeDelay #LeavesOnTheTrackAtCrewe

The first verse contains one of my all time favourite lyrics. Not just one of my very favourite Tom Petty lyrics, just one of my favourite lyrics full stop. ⬛ tinyurl.com/ychcy4a2 🍎 tinyurl.com/ynty5ja7 🟢 tinyurl.com/25mxk6an 🟥 youtu.be/Q8oSzEDwctE

Twenty seven years ago today, Echo was released! #SameSadEcho

American friends - this is important.

I was having a conversation on the Discord for my Queen podcast and someone asked about songs you like that should be outside your musical tastes. This is definitely one of them for me and I think mainly because it was used in this movie, which my kids LOVED! youtu.be/MghWJwQ4E18?...

Here's the cover version of and tutorial for Jack, by the fantastic Tim Bulman (Judge Timbers), that I was talking about on this week's episode. Tim is a fantastic guy as well as a talented musician and songwriter in his own right. youtu.be/LdiGGLYIsx4

Stumbled across this beauty at the record store yesterday. We have three vinyl stores in town and I basically only visit one. They just have a way, way better selecton and I love the vibe in there. #Mudcrutch

No episode this week folks! I flirted with time all weekend and had to reschedule some other recording. I have a semi-final game with my daughter's team tonight and I don't want to rush writing the episode for Down South as it's one of my very favourites from this album! See you all next week!

“You’re flirting with time”, Tom sings. New episode now. Available wherever you wind your watches. ⬛ tinyurl.com/39w39rfc 🍎 tinyurl.com/yj9a579w 🟢 tinyurl.com/skcs3skd 🟥 youtu.be/GC9fOsjSyQ8

Square One is the work of a middle-aged man who fully knows himself and knows how to articulate the past and the present in three very vivid dimensions. ⬛ tinyurl.com/9vtne6et 🍎 tinyurl.com/2sby44hv 🟢 tinyurl.com/mpvfxar3 🟥 youtu.be/IbssQS63jGo

Saving Grace opens with that iconic finger-picked guitar riff. If you speed it up by twenty beats per minute and pitch it up from E to A, you end up roughly at La Grange by ZZ Top. ⬛ tinyurl.com/4brkupfv 🍎 tinyurl.com/y4rwrdh7 🟢 tinyurl.com/mxxknkyh 🟥 youtu.be/2rbuTBBPhm0

Season fourteen has begun and I wanted to chat a little about Highway Companion before we start digging into the songs. ⬛ tinyurl.com/4dphxe2j 🍎 tinyurl.com/yzt8czc7 🟢 tinyurl.com/5a7zn33b 🟥 youtu.be/zrdpmzTStHA

Hi all! There won't be an episode this week unfortunately. My body is fighting something (a couple of the other people in the house have been sick this weekend/week) and I'm just wiped! No other symptoms apart from the fatigue, but I'll see you next week! #TheWaitingIsTheHardestPart

#np Have Gun, Will Travel : Voyager Golden EP Appropriately, on 10" gold vinyl as homage to the Voyager 1 golden record, this is just a fantastic little EP. Clocking in at right around 22 minutes, it's tight, focused, and impeccably performed. hgwtmusic.bandcamp.com/album/voyage...

The last song we talked about on the podcast was Blue Sunday. Back in February of 2022, Jake Thistle played this one for me and his Youtube followers on our live stream. It was a fabulous piano rendition and I wanted to share it again. It wowed me then and still does now! youtu.be/CZiwuTBfVwk
