The Colorado Sound S8 EP17 May 2014

I sure do hope you’ve been catching the recent episodes of the show, as I’ve featured tracks from one of Colorado’s “lost” recordings – Zepyr’s “Heartbeat” (1982).  I added a couple of cuts from the “Heartbeat” (1982) to the morning mix at The Colorado Sound Live365.  Coming up in May I’ll also have remastered versions of Zephyr’s 1969 debut, the “Rainbow In the Bathtub.”

The Colorado Sound Live365 – Updated May 5.

A couple of new releases came in too late to get on for this week’s show.
Matt Fuller Group, featuring Ron Miles – Waiting for Violet – jazz
Grant Farm – Plowing Time – jamband
