The amazing story and success of  Winnipeg’s David and Joey Landreth continues with the release of their 9^th studio album, Dog Ear.

The brothers join us from home base as they prepare for a full European tour and select key American dates this year.

The new album deals with finding a balance between making music and raising their families. In the music business, with all its touring, it can be really hard on the whole family.

After having a Grammy hit with the Landreth’s  Made up Mind,  their music hero, Bonnie Raitt, asked the boys to send her songs from their new album.

She came back saying, “I can’t decide which one I want to sing on – so how about two songs?”.

She sang harmony on Knuckles and background on Half Moon Eyes.

David and Joey grew up in a musical family and listened to Bonnie and Little Feat growing up.  They can’t begin to describe what it’s like to not only meet your heroes but to play and sing with them!!  As you can imagine it’s  out of this world.

Next week  weeks, Interviews with Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. about making music and still being friends 40 years later.
