The new Sid Podcast is here, a call all Coal Porters coronavirus special. As no recording studio was available for Sid, Sonja, and their award winning engineer Kevin Stokes the methodology was different this time around. Sid picked the songs according to regions hit particularly hard by coronavirus. Hence Italy, Spain, NYC, Japan, etc. Then Our Hero contacted friends in those very regions and they sent him a list of possible choices which best reflected their nation. Two of these were picked and they were then assembled in a format and in a order which Sid deems best to raise the spirits of the housebound, to get Mom and even Dad dancing, to put a smile on the face of any neighbour within earshot. Without further introduction, here is what Our Hero refers to as “the best, most important podcast I, Sonja, and Kevin Stokes have done so far”.

Sid's latest podcast has a theme. Every song on it was recorded in the studio another time and place by the artist involved. Be it Neil Young, Petula Clark, the Isley Bros., Sid's friend the late Ian McLagan of the Small Faces, bluesman Magic Sam, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, or whoever, each song appears in its rarest form…yet the listener will know the song from the same artist in a different studio version!”

“This March 2016 podcast is a collection of new music I have purchased or was sent to me in the post. Featuring old friends Peter Case, Dan Stuart, and Roland White I also play tracks by Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Billie Holiday. This latter trio I have never met! However, closest to my heart is a track apiece by young British singers Hannah Rose Platt and Alice Watts, terrific talents who are just getting started, and two selections from the recent Long Ryders box set, Final Wild Songs.”Sid Griffin, March 2016
