Episode Notes

The last Stew of September - We have a total of 10 Guests.
Nine of them come from the hot-rising Edmonton band Second Hand Dream Car. For the first time,  all 9 members showed up to talk.
Second Hand Dream Car, all nine members
We talked about the history of "horn bands". Everyone from Tower of Power to Tedeschi Trucks Band.
And this Friday they're releasing their second album, Get Ready.
As many of you know,  their first album, Answer the Call, led to three Canadian Blues Music Awards and a JUNO nomination for Blues Album of the Year. Also voted #6 album in the CKUA Top 100 albums of 2024.
Second Hand Dream Car launch their new Album Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week at the Varscona Theatre.  Lots of dates ahead, but two stand out
October 22, Horseshoe Tavern.   Toronto
New Year's Eve
Chateau Lacombe Ballroom, Edmonton.
Guest in Hour Two is  Colin James.
He is about to release his book Playing the Changes -  a musician's memoir.
Playing the Changes
Colin has released 21 studio albums, 8 Juno Awards, and 31 Maple Blues Awards. Induction in the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame and the Order of British Columbia. It all started in Regina.
Colin has also worked and become friends with Bonnie Raitt, Pops Staples, Keith Richards, Buddy Guy and more. However, his career took a leap when, as a young player, he was asked to form a band overnight to open for Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Colin James and Stevie Ray Vaughan
They became friends and toured together. Lots of road stories here.  All written by Colin.
One theme running through the book is his Quaker upbringing and a memorable journey through the Deep South by bus with his Mom.
Both complete interviews can be found on the Mulligan Stew Podcast.
