In the latest installment of BԪַToday in BCBԪַ, host Peter McCully chats with the blues guitarist whose early years were playing traditional/Celtic music in his hometown of Regina.

BԪַIt was just a bunch of people getting together and playing dances,BԪַ said James. BԪַBut it was a great learning place for a 13-year-old. I was ears wide open all the time.BԪַ

The first single for Open Road is BԪַDown on the BottomBԪַ, a Bob Dylan tune from the 1960s.

BԪַYeah, he just wrote it and never put music to it,BԪַ said James. BԪַThe New Basement Tapes was put out a few years ago now, they recorded that song, and my producer liked it. IBԪַm always happy to have another rock song in the group.BԪַ
