Laura Tate has released her 4th album, Let’s Just Be Real. This multi-talented woman has excelled behind the microphone, in front of the camera, on-stage and even behind the camera.  We’ll talk about her journey and the music for which she finds an affinity. John McNamara hails from Australia, but his latest, Rollin’ With It, was recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis with a cast of Memphians behind him.  John and I will trace his road, which has brought him around the globe. Darryl Ellyson is out of the Virginia area and has been sharing his unique Blues stylings for over 40 years.  I found Darryl though a review of his album, Been Out Taveling by Peter “Blewzman” Lauro…and if Pete likes it, so much the better. Andy T Band featuring Alabama Mike has released Double Strike and it continues the success of Andy pairing with a stunning vocalist.  Always a joy to speak with Andy and Mike is also a Couch Kid from his solo releases.  Gonna be a bunch of laughs during this one.
