We celebrated Neil Young's 67th Birthday last Monday. I hope everyone enjoyed the music and discussion of Neil's life and works. This day sponsorship is in it's 3rd or 4th year...for sure 3rd. :) I plan on keeping it up as long as possible, or at least until I get all the albums on vinyl.

Michael Houser 1/6/62 - 8/10/02

Embrace the Sound took some time out of regular programming to recognize 10 years since the passing of Michael Houser. Mikey was the founding member and lead guitarist for Widespread Panic until his death in August of 2002. I still remember where I was and Who I was with when I heard the news. I've seen WP over a dozen times, all but two without Mikey. Although I don't visit their catalog as often these days, I had such great memories while preparing this show, singing along to every word. We'll be working more of Mikey's solo guitar work into the regular fold in the time to come.

We're Back!

I am still in the running for "Worst Blogger of the Year" and may have killed my chances by posting 2 months worth of playlists. Check em out. If you have playlist ideas, let me here em here or email embracethesound@gmail.com

Had a great time with Lucero and William Elliot Whitmore at First Ave. last Wednesday. Thanks to the friends and fellow concert goers for a great time. I'll say it here, I love First Ave, such a great venue. Be sure to check out Trampled by Turtles there this Wednesday. We'll feature a grip of new tracks from their new album "Stars and Satellites" this Sunday on the show. We'll here a few from William Elliot Whitmore and Lucero, along with the usual suspects.

I also recently purchased Brett Netson's solo effort "Simple Work For The Dead". You know Brett as Guitarists for the bands Caustic Resin and Built to Spill. Can't wait to give this one a spin and get a few tracks on the air.

Til then, I'll leave you with this clip of Guy Clark, Edgar Meyer and Stuart Duncan from a 1990 performance at Austin City Limits. Enjoy!
