On the eve of the release of his latest solo record The Unconquerable Past, Stephen Fearing walks Terry through a few songs on the new record. We’ll hear 3 tracks from the album: “Christine,” “Stay with Me,” and “Someone Else’s Shoes”.
The pair discuss Stephen’s collaboration with producer Scott Nolan, and co-writes with Andy White and Tom Wilson. Plus, Stephen gives us an update on the forthcoming Blackie and the Rodeo Kings record.
Blackie and the Rodeo Kings Are releasing a new album this week.. Kings and Kings
The follow up to the highly successful Kings and Queens release.
Stephen Fearing and I met in a small street corner “park” in downtown Duncan BC, Vancouver Island.
Stephen takes us through how Kings came together..each artist required his own approach..some were pitched backstage, some in studios and many by email.
In many cases, vocals were done in separate studios.
Stephen talks about the artists who chose his songs..
Live By The Song ft. Rodney Crowell
High Wire ft. Raul Malo (The Mavericks)
Secret of a Long Lasting Love ft. Nick Lowe
And Blowhard Nation, the first track from his next solo album.

TWO special guests in the first hour of this week’s Stew..
Stephen Fearing is one busy guy.
He’s currently in the Maritimes touring with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings..who are about to release their much awaited Kings and Kings.
However Stephen has his own agenda.
Yes he has a new album coming early in the New year but he’s about to release on Monday his first single called Blowhard Nation.
It’s a protest song about the current political race in the USA but really focuses on Donald Trump.
Neither of us have seen a lot of artist push back from his fear mongering but Stephen is more than ready to have a go.
He says he’ll get a lot of social messages..we’ll keep an eye on that.
Mulligan Stew is honoured to be the first show anywhere to play the song …
“I love the word blowhard – I imagine a man with a red face and neck rolling over the knot of his conservative tie. The last thing I saw before heading into the bush to write this batch of songs was the cover of a magazine featuring Donald Trump in full sneer. At that point it seemed inconceivable that such a loud-mouthed bully / con-artist could become the Republican nominee,” Fearing explains.
By releasing the song early, Fearing hopes to contribute to the conversation about the potentially catastrophic global impact of a Trump presidency and use the song to try and help some of the people Trump is vilifying in his campaign. With this in mind, Fearing is donating his proceeds from the single to War Child, a charity which helps children in waraffected areas through education, opportunity, and justice.
Blowhard Nation is the first single from Every Soul’s a Sailor (album available January 14, 2017). Over the course of his celebrated career Stephen Fearing has collaborated with artists such as Shawn Colvin, Richard Thompson, Sarah McLachlan, Tom Wilson, Colin Linden, and Margo Timmins. When not working behind the microphone, Fearing spends his time teaching songwriting and producing, working on projects like Suzie Vinnick’s JUNO-nominated album Happy Here.
And a quick talk with Royal Wood who’s passing through the West this weekend. Vancouver/Victoria this weekend. Alberta next
