HOT NEW SINGLES IN YOUR AREA!
The Alexis P. Suter Band	4 Wheels Beats 2 Heels	4 Wheels Beats 2 Heels - single	Nola Blue Records	2024	One day, when Alexis was, once again, crammed in the back seat of an over-stuffed car on the way to a tour date, one of her bandmates asked, “Are you OK back there, Lexi?” Without missing a beat she responded, “Yeah Baby, 4 wheels beats 2 heels any day!” And it wasn’t too long afterwards that the band had their latest hit written and ready for the recording studio! I don't know if The Four Blazes' 1953 hit "Raggedy Ride" was a subconscious inspiration or not but you'll hear it in the history part of the show.	✓
Elvin Bishop & Los Lobos	What The Hell Is Going On	What The Hell Is Going On - single	Alligator Records	2024	On Memorial Day of this year, Elvin Bishop came to a Los Lobos gig at Rancho Nicasio Restaurant & Bar in California. Upon meeting the first time, he sat in and performed his classic composition “What the Hell is Going On.” Video @ www.alligator.com/	✓
Jesse Waldman & Marc L'Esperance	End Of The Tunnel	The Shimmering Divide	Indie	2024	"The recording’s pace appears more settled into a consistency that is both confident and richly lulling, much like that of a train, which some of the songs just happened to be born out of, in their jotting down in journals, captured as Jesse performed on VIA Rail from the West Coast to Ontario."

In addition, Sonny’s family surname was originally Ledbetter, and he is believed to be a relative of seminal blues/folk legend, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter.
