This week's show was a fun one to put together, and I did an unusual amount of research and preparation because I wanted to do it right. I've been doing these hour long 4:00 Features for a while where I do a deep dive into someone's discography, but when I started looking at the long, long list of amazing artists that one particular Canadian music VIP had worked with, I knew it was going to take more than an hour for sure. Even in 3 I didn't get to nearly all of the projects and people that I wanted to include!
If you've ever met Dale Murray, you know that he's a pretty quiet and humble guy, but if he ever wanted to, he'd have a hell of a lot to brag about. Over the past 30 years, he's added his talents to dozens of recording projects. He's a versatile multi-instrumentalist who excels at guitar and pedal steel, a respected producer, a terrific singer and songwriter, and so much more. You catch him most often alongside his wonderful wife Christina Martin.
This show pulls together as much of his work as possible, including formative seminal East Coast band The Guthries, which launched the career of Matt Mays, his work with Cuff the Duke, and contributions to albums by a who's who of Canadian music.
I really enjoyed this show, and early reactions seem positive. Dive in, get to know Dale and some of the many musicians he's worked with, and enjoy!
Singer/Songwriters, Sundays, 2-4 pm central!
