NSTS Episode 112 – Singer Blair Packham

This week on NSTS, the great Blair Packham returns to the show for his third time, and he brings his guitar with him. We have a lengthy chat about all sorts of things, including No Sleep ’til Sudbury’s upcoming first-ever live audience recording at Hugh’s Room in Toronto on Thursday, June 27 featuring Carole Pope and Rob Preuss (get yer tickets at hughsroomlive.com!)

In addition to the great chat about The Boss, sticking it to The Man, how Tom Petty came up with “Swingin'” on the spot, heroin, and John Prine, he also noodles a Springsteen classic, some of his own tunes, and a Dylan song to close out the show that chokes me up.  

Packham’s playlist:

Bruce Springsteen – The River

Tom Petty – Swingin’

The Isley Brothers – Fight The Power

Public Enemy – Fight The Power

John Hiatt – Learning How To Love You
