Big Dave McLean From The Bottom Part I

While driving across the prairie today, I caught CBC Radio One's Saturday Night Blues. It was an interview with local singer / songwriter Big Dave McLean about his life, career, and the release of his 2008 album 'Acoustic Blues - Got 'Em From The Bottom'. I have to say that his voice just gets better with age !

I checked the CBC site but they don't seem to podcast SNB shows, which is too bad - I did find another interview here from CKUA in Edmonton. A review of the album can be found here.

Some interesting tidbits about the new album... McLean wrote 14 of the 19 tracks. The lineup includes his signature song Atlanta Moan and a duet with his 92-year-old mother, Pearl !
