EP 176 | Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy

September 23, 2021 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Kímmapiiyipitssini: [GEE-maa-bee-bit-sin] (A Blackfoot word that means “giving kindness to each other”) 

https://www.nfb.ca/film/kimmapiiyipitssini-the-meaning-of-empathy/

Elle–Máijá Tailfeathers’ film witnesses radical and profound change in her community. Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy is an intimate portrait of survival, love, and the collective work of healing in the Kainai First Nation in Southern Alberta, a Blackfoot community facing the impacts of substance use and a drug-poisoning epidemic.

Community members active in addiction and recovery, first responders, and medical professionals implement harm reduction to save lives. This work is contextualized within the historical and contemporary impacts of settler colonialism; Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy draws a connecting line between the effects of colonial violence on Blackfoot land and people and the ongoing substance-use crisis.

Held in love and hope for the future, Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy asks the audience to be a part of this remarkable change with the community.

A member of the Kainai First Nation and the Sámi in Norway, Tailfeathers creates an intimate portrait of her community and the impacts of the substance use and overdose epidemic…

September 22, 2021 Mulligan Stew

hello

Special Guests in the second hour Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland – Whitehorse!

They bring with them stories and new music from the just-released album Strike Me Down.

They got themselves through Covid lockdown by performing mini-concerts in their home (Happy Hour Sessions) with their son joining them occasionally.

Luke and Melissa also took the time to write lots of songs.  10 of the best show up on their new album.

As always, you can never anticipate which Whitehorse will show up.

They revel in blues, rock, pop, Abba disco. All with storytelling lyrics, wicked guitar work, and vocals that keep moving around like a UFO.

Luke, Melissa, and I cover 4 tracks from the album, riff on the question what IS rock and roll these days and what does 2022 look like.

For starters  2022 includes Massey Hall on March 3  and National Arts Centre on March 19!

Melissa and Luke are two of the most interesting artists working today. They have worked very hard to seek and find an audience that wants to celebrate the full Whitehorse experience.

FYI – the complete totally engaged interview can be heard next week on the Mulligan Stew Podcast (Subscribe of Spotify. Apple Podcasts and Google Play)

Saturdays Playlist includes

For starters Bob Dylan’s 17-minute Murder Most Foul.

EP 174 | Martha Wainwright

September 18, 2021 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

For some artists that’s an eternity. For Martha it’s called “having a life”.

The life included the breakup of her marriage. Fighting for custody of her children.  Opening a bistro that became a studio. Having to justify being a female artist who’s also a mother. The feedback was “surely you can’t be both”?

The album is called Love will be Reborn which is exactly what happened to Martha. The songs that followed the writing of the title track reflect exactly what happened in the 5 years between releases. Produced by Pierre Marchand. You just know this is good.

It’s her very best work yet. Songs like Justice, Body and soul, Hole in my heart, and Love will be reborn. We’ll include them all in the podcast.

This conversation is not a Q&A. It’s me engaging Martha and getting the hell out of the way.

Love the woman. Love the music.

It’s Martha Wainwright people. Listen up.

Mulligan Stew Sept 18th 2021- Special Guest Martha Wainright

September 17, 2021 Mulligan Stew

hello

“Fearless, untethered arrangements… Wainwright’s fifth LP has artistry galore”

– MOJO ****

On par with Patti Smith’s early work with albums such as “Horses” and Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush”

 – The Toronto Star

Martha has a beautiful new collection of songs called Love will be reborn

It’s been 5 yrs. since I last talked to Martha Wainwright. My first question was “how were those 5 years for you”?

She stopped answering almost 10 minutes later. Covered a lot of moments such as  a divorce and fighting for the custody of her children. (Justice)  All artists should attempt to be this forthcoming.

A marriage falling apart (Hole in my heart) and the title track about belief in herself,  seeking & finding a new heart. (Love will be reborn). We’ll  also play the wonderful Body and soul

Martha starts her world tour Sunday at a music festival in Nashville. Followed by 2 nights Monday & Tuesday  in London.  Canadian dates in November.

The complete interview will drop right after The Stew finishes. On the Mulligan Stew Podcast.

And the surrounding playlist includes new music from

EP 173 | David Gogo

September 12, 2021 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Silver Cup is David Gogo’s 16th full album …

Feels like he’s shifting gears on his 59 1/2 Mustang.

Gone are the amps and electric guitars.

This is a rootsy acoustic  Dave GoGo but pushed and supported  by producer Steve Mariner and great session players.

Silver Cup is released October 7th and Dave will guest on Mulligan Stew CKUA Radio Saturday, October 8th.

This is an advance listen and Dave’s tales to how the album came together  during the lockdown.  Also the stories behind the songs and the tour dates.

We play you

Silver Cup

Never gonna change

Mulligan Stew Sept 11th 2021-Time to remember and honour The Day

September 10, 2021 Mulligan Stew

hello

On the down sound Summer’s “Done like Dinner”

On the upside, The Stew has its full two hours of showtime back again.

I do hope you enjoyed this summer’s Festival Radio- Congrats to the Festival Crew.

The September 11th Stew is all music.

The first 90 minutes is a heady mix of

Wicked Grin from  John Hammond

Followed by Tom Waits/James Brown/Aretha & Ray Charles.

Then we shift to Jackson Browne/Leonard Cohen/Carlos Santana (with Clapton)

New music from Colin Linden, Mariel Buckley, and next week’s guest Martha Wainwright.

Hour two kicks off with a  16 minute Motown Festival.

Then it’s time to remember and honour The Day – September 11th. Twenty years ago the heart of New York City was broken and horribly damaged.

I’ve gathered a group of songs that reflect how we all felt and how the artists chose to reflect on this tragedy and the lives lost.  Frankly, what The World lost.

Music from

Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler

Bruce Cockburn

John Hiatt

Bruce Springsteen

U2.

Thank you for remembering.

EP 172 | Ed Robertson talks BNL’s Detour de Force

September 4, 2021 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

The Barenaked Ladies 16th album is called Detour de Force. More wordplay from a band that majors in it. Right?

I knew this album would be different when I saw a track written by bassist Jim Creegan called Paul Chambers. Who writes a pop song about a legendary bass player (Kind of Blue) as a metaphor?

Ed himself wrote the amazing  Live Well, a song about his childhood filled with his Father’s alcohol abuse and how he overcame the trauma.

The album ends with the outstanding Kevin Hearn track called Internal Dynamo. It’s about planets generating their own magnetic fields. Not your basic pop/rock fodder.

It starts like something Pink Floyd might have left us with but 2:40 into the 5-minute track the music shapeshifts into Rage Against the Machine and then ends with a Beatles White album feel.

Mulligan Stew Sept 4th 2021- Special Guest Ed Robertson of BareNaked Ladies

September 3, 2021 Mulligan Stew

hello

Our Special long weekend guest is Ed Robertson from Barenaked Ladies.

‘Detour de Force,’ is Barenaked Ladies’ 16th studio album.

Over the course of 33 years, the Toronto quartet has sold 15 million records worldwide and built up an arsenal of hits such as “If I Had $1,000,000,” “One Week,” “Pinch Me” and “The Big Bang Theory Theme.”

Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, Tyler Stewart, and Kevin Hearn are widely acknowledged as one of the best live acts on the planet, BNL has won eight Juno Awards and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2018.  Great!  Fine!  Bang ON.  I’ve got another word that I believe defines  The Ladies – “admirable.”

Here’s the thing.  These guys do NOT sit back on their past hits and success. They all continue to write and refine their songs, vocals, and performing.  They push each other to be even better.

Case in point. Three songs from the 14 on Detour de Force

You’ll certainly hear Flip/Good Life/Roll Out

But the  three tracks that show the craftsmanship of BNL are

New Disaster – deals with the dark cloud of snarly social opinions.

Paul Chambers – Yup. A song about the legendary bassist who played on and supported Miles Davis etc on Kind of Blue.  Jim Creeggan makes him a metaphor.

And then Kevin Hearn contributes Internal Dynamo the last track that starts like Pink Floyd, hangs a hard left into Rage Against The Machine territory, and finishes like something from The Beatles White Album.

Those are the three tracks we’ll play for you on Saturdays Mulligan Stew @ckuaradio.  The complete interview with Ed Robertson can be heard on The MulliganStew Podcast

And Hey- the playlist will absolutely get you rocking..

Starts with Elvis, Jerry Lee, Billy Cowsill singing Elvis and Rocket 88 – Live tracks from Elton John, Tom Petty, and the Heartbreakers, Little Feat, and  Van Morrison.

New Sue Foley, Los Lobos, Ranch Writers, William Prince, Frazey Ford &  Black Keys,

EP 171 | Remembering Charlie Watts and The Last Waltz. Plus My Name is Suzie Ungerleider

August 28, 2021 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Every once in a while all of the planning goes OUT THE WINDOW.

This week’s Podcast for example.

I always knew there would be a complete interview with Suzie Ungerleider (Oh Suzanna). Her new 10th  album is called My Name Is Suzie Ungerleider and the story behind the title tells quite a tale.

The music is the best she’s ever released.  So, the complete interview and tracks as well.  Suzie closes the podcast.

Also this week, I was doing interviews with Barney Bentall, Colin Linden, and Russell Broom about their involvement in Remembering The Last Waltz.  Four nights of celebrating The Band’s Last Stand almost 45 years ago.

Sept 2 & 3 Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

Sept 9 & 10 Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

Before we shared memories of The Band we talked about the passing of Charlie Watts.  Legendary drummer for The Rolling Stones. His effect of The Stones and on us is remarkable considering how quiet and gentle he was. As large and loud as all The Rolling Stones were, it was Charlie that held it all together, on stage and off.

So..we start this Podcast by remembering Charlie Watts, then  The Band, and celebrating Suzie Ungerleider.  Busy week.

Cheers Charlie..

Mulligan Stew Aug 28th 2021-Remembering Charlie Watts and The Last Waltz. Plus My Name is Suzie Ungerleider

August 27, 2021 Mulligan Stew

hello

We have three separate stories to tell this week.

The loss of Charlie Watts

Remembering The Last Waltz

And My Name is Suzie Ungerleider

Most Stews have found their shape by this time in the week…

But every week throws something unexpected at you. Like the death of legendary drummer Charlie Watts.

For some music fans, the name Charlie Watts is the last name mentioned in The Rolling Stones line-up.

“and on drums…Charlie Watts”

For me and MANY music fans Charlie Watts was The Stones.

While Keith and Mick and Ronnie were wanking about center stage Charlie was the engine that drove everything.

Keith has said many times, it’s Charlie that I follow. He tells me what and where to play. He gave us all the space to create in.

The  voices in this Stew will be

Colin Linden

Russell Broom

Barney Bentall.

Suzie Ungerleider

Colin and Barney are two of the performers in Remembering The Last Waltz.  A four-night celebration in Edmonton and Calgary of the 45th anniversary of one of the greatest nights in rock and roll.

Performers also  include Jimmy Rankin, Dustin Bentall, and  Michael Bernard Fitzgerald. Producer, arranger, writer, musician Russell Broom leads a great band.

 

Sept 2/3 Jubilee Calgary

Sept 9/10 Jubilee Edmonton

Barney, Colin, and Russell all have strong memories of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts and what The Last Waltz meant to them.

(when it first came out Barney saw the film 6 nights in a row)

ALSO

My Name Is  Suzie Ungerleider is the latest from an artist we all knew as Oh Suzanna.

10 albums into a career that started in Vancouver,  then many years in Toronto, and now back home in Vancouver.

The new album is really well written and performed in a voice we haven’t heard from Suzie before.  Feels very much like a turning point.

As for the rest of the show, we make room for

The Everly Brothers…The Wood Brothers…Bros. Landreth.

Bill Withers Live

Steely Dan Live

and

The Band

New

Los Lobos

Fretless/Nuela Charles

Masks ON?  Let’s go!

 

The Complete set on interviews  Suzie, Barney, Colin and Russell can be heard on The MulliganStew Podcast  (Posts Saturday night at 6Pacific/7 Mtn)
