It was my privilege to welcome legendary Canadian musician Murray McLauchlan to the show this week. I grew up listening to his music, and he’s an engaging conversationalist with some pretty terrific stories. 

Join us as we talk about the unique musical charity Murray supports, the time John Prine opened up for him, his insightful interpretations of Ray Charles, his opinion of grunge, why Blossom Dearie always makes him cry, microwave popcorn, and how he, Jim Croce, Tom Waits, and his other musical counterparts of the day used to sit around trying to impress each other with new songs.             

McLauchlan’s playlist:

John Mayer – In The Blood

Tony Joe White – Polk Salad Annie

Ray Charles – Come Rain or Come Shine

Chet Baker – Little Girl Blue

Blossom Dearie – Now At Last

Bob Dylan – A Hard Rain’s A Gonna Fall

John Prine – Paradise
