02/21/11 Jim Chilson From Ten Foot Polecats Sat On The Couch

Jim Chilson is the guitarist for the fabulous Ten Foot Polecats.  based out of the Worcester/Boston area, the band is on the forefront of the new 'punk-blues' movement. 

Their music is deeply rooted in the North Mississippi hill Country, but is played with a ferocity that has made them a hit on the emerging circuit.

We spoke with Jim about his youth, the formation of the band, and their new home at Bluebilly Hillgrass Records.


02/21/11 Keith Sykes Sat On The Couch

Keith Sykes does it all...singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, record company executive...Keith makes music and makes it extremely well.

On this night, we had technical difficulties that cut Keith's time short. He totally understood and has accepted an invite to come back and sit on The Couch when his new blues album is ready for release.

During our short time together on this night we talked about his album Country Morning Music, which is simply Keith and his guitar and it is absolutely brilliant!
