Rory returned to The Couch to talk about her latest release, A Woman’s Soul, her tribute to Bessie Smith. This is the first of a new series of albums, this one honoring the women of The Blues. Always enjoy my conversations with this wonderful artist.

Eric’s new album, Happy Songs For The Apocalypse, is a collection of songs looking at our world today. Eric’s second album, most of his days producing and engineering albums by Walter Trout and John Mayall. I had a wonderful time speaking with Eric and exploring his history.
