CP S17 EP06 2023

February 6, 2023 – I was hoping for either Yonder Mountain String Band or the Infamous Stringdusters to bring a Grammy home to Colorado, but no such luck this year.

Every once in a while it happens. I get sent a record WEEKS before it goes live on your favorite streaming source. In this week’s show there were pre-release debuts from Angie Stevens & the Beautiful Wreck and one from the solo debut from Trent Nelson (Strange Americans).

As I sat here yesterday tabulating this week’s spins I was very pleasantly surprised to see the new album Four from Colorado Music Hall of Fame guitarist Bill Frisell debut at #3.
