I know that Richie is finishing up a new solo album as we speak, and there’s been rumors floating around the scene that Rick has been encouraged to step back in behind the mic and give us some new music.  I have no doubt Jock will be a part of whatever Rick does next.

The album I’ve been enjoying is The Piedbmont Brothers Band – III.  It’s an unusual project in that it’s essentially one guy out of N. Carolina and another from Italy who have teamed up with several notable players to continue the country-rock traditions originated in the 60s by guys like Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco and others.

Check ‘em out … with 5 current or former Coloradoans on board it gets an official Colorado Connection (CC) designation and will get some love on The Colorado Sound…

I got an interesting email from miss Megan Burtt this week.. she’s up to some kinda good …but it’s a secret and she ain’t tellin.  LOL.  Based on the questions she was asking me, this is going to be fun to see develop.  In the meantime I’m looking forward to a new record from her.  Got to hang out and do sound for Halden Wofford & the Hi*Beams this weekend.  Their new album is going to the mastering stage – with a hopeful done date by the end of May.  Count on hearing it here first.  Katie Glassman showed up for the second set… she’s heading into the studio on Monday to record her sophomore effort.

On next week’s show new music from AdrienneO and Sam Lee …

In the meantime check out The Colorado Sound “TV” – the best of what I’ve found to date on YouTube
