Originally broadcast on Tuesday on Ridge Radio, listen again to today's Simply Country Podcast Of The Day, featuring Jayne Denham, Liam Kennedy-Clark, Lyn Bowtell, Sorensen, The Austins, Kristy Cox, Brooke Eden, Lynn Hazelton, Brandon McPhee, Chelsea Berman, Laura Carley, Colin Harney, The RnR Ranchgirls, Danny Byrne Band, Payton Howie, Reya Jayne, Michaela Jenke, Marshall Potts, Owen Mac, Seamus Fitzsimmons (pictured), Tenille Townes, The Weeping Willows, Belles, Ty Herndon, Kate Ellis, Travis Pickering and more.

"Other notable acts are His Lordship, a black suited 3 - piece who come as close to Punk as we have got so far with some gloriously raw guitar and fine mid 70's attitude. Following them on the Roadhouse stage are Black Water County, an Irish sounding Punk ensemble complete with mandolin, banjo and Tin whistle. Two quite contrasting acts to the rest of the line up and all the more endearing for it. But stealing the day is the quite exquisite Imelda May. Dressed completely in black, the long flowing dress makes the elegant songstress almost appear Goth like. But she looks just this side of elegant evening gown to be Goth. And such an amazing voice and mesmerising stage presence. Backed by some talented musicians, May's set displays traits of Rock, Soul, Blues, and just damn fine songs. Having worked with the likes of Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood and Noel Gallagher, it's easy to see where the Rock influence comes from. But it's the heartfelt ballads that strike home." It was definitely a hot one, both musically and weather-wise, on the first day of Europe’s premier Americana playground Black Deer Festival, that kicked off at Kent's Eridge Park yesterday, so today read Mother's complete take on Day 1, plus check out some great photos and our Video Of The Day of James.

Tracks Of The Day, complemented by two other similarly timed Frontiers releases from Chaos Magic and Jorn, plus three further new/recent releases from Gabriel, Avatarium and Rage Unfold.

WRC award-winning Pete Feenstra has spent the last forty years listening to, writing about, talking about, and promoting Rock music, with a particular interest in the Blues, and Pete's latest Rock & Blues show is today's Podcast Of The Day, featuring Slim Butler, Emma Wilson, Tedeschi Trucks, Edgar Broughton Band, Greta Van Fleet (pictured), Jonathan Jeremiah, The Black Keys, Albert Castiglia, Sonny Rhodes, Supersonic Blues Machine, Kira Mac, Peter Goalby, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse, Gary Cain, Mick Simpson and many more.

Ahead of a string of Summer shows around Europe, including Alice Cooper later this month, and as special guests to Guns N’ Roses in London at the beginning of next month, last Friday, Michael Monroe released his new album, 'I Live Too Fast To Die Young', via Silver Lining Music, of which his latest anthemic new single, ‘Everybody’s Nobody’, accompanied by today's high-octane, feel-good Video Of The Day, shows the band swaggering the streets like Rock-Punk poets, storytellers who've seen it all. With the new album, it is clear that Michael is striding into the Summer with a triumphant - and perhaps most importantly, defiant - roar to offer you a chance to let your hair down (or up!) and to once again enjoy the freedom of joyous celebration and expression. His band will also be joining Black Star Riders on their 2023 UK tour along with Motörhead’s Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, that kicks-off on Monday 13th February at Nottingham’s Rock City.
