    Three For Thursday | Michael Hedges | Clive Davis

    Jackson is back to tell us about his trip with Dad to Las Vegas & the Grand Canyon! Nick kicks us off with a Three for Thursday. We hear Austrian jazz guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel, jump into the latest release from Lambchop, and finish up with a track from Ari Hoenig. Songs: Wolfgang Muthspiel & Brian Blade - “Youssou” Lambchop - “Stella” Ari Hoenig - “Condemnation (feat Gadi Lehavi & Ben Tiberio)” On his journey with Jackson, Greg came across a record store. After digging through their selection, he came across an album by Michael Hedges. An incredible guitarist relegated to the ’New Age’ genre, Hedges played the guitar like no one else before him. We dig into his work. Songs: Michael Hedges - “Layover” Michael Hedges - “Sofa No.1” Michael Hedges - “Ragamuffin” Jay decided to take up the challenge and brings us a very special tribute to Clive Davis. I won’t spoil it by giving anything away, but stay tuned, it’s great. Songs: Leo Kottke - “Last Steam Engine Train” Jay Rossman - “The Life of Clive Davis”

Next up, Greg noticed that one artist in particular appeared numerous times on Pitchfork’s Perfect 10 Album list, and he whole heartedly agrees.

There’s been an outpouring of love for him online and some incredible performances have been unearthed in the process. We listen to a few.
