Great stuff!

I saw Otis Gibbs perform when he supported Dan Baird & Homemade Sin a year or two ago. He impressed me so much that I bought a couple of cd's - excellent they are too. However, I chanced upon these podcasts a few weeks ago and I highly recommend them to anyone with even a passing interest in modern day Americana. His guests - like Ian Hunter, Bill DeMain, Todd Snider and many more - are never less than interesting and often very funny. Well done, Otis!
