Back again and this time, as promised, I'm rounding up a stack of new releases with my good friend Brian Brinkman. We each pick a few and discuss at length followed by a lightning round of picks we couldn't leave out. Later, we swing around to talk Grateful Dead and we've put together a potent mix that's sure to thrill.

You may know Brian from The Helping Friendly Podcast which I'm pleased to co-host or from his old show, Beyond The Pond. He's got a new show too, called The Live Show. All of these can be found on Osiris. The Brokedown Podcast is also part of Osiris Media. Osiris is creating a community that connects people like you with podcasts and live experiences about artists and topics you love. Check out OsirisPod.com to stay in the loop.
