Singer-songwriter, fiddler and rambling man Joey Berglund has been performing under the moniker Bar Jay Bar for several years, and he's bringing something fresh to the western side of traditional country. Amy Alvey has brought a few songs of his to the mix, and this week, it's his bluesy "Breakdown Mama." I've seen his home base identified as Los Angeles and Sheridan, WY, and it's clear he gets around. Also on stage, where his reputation for acrobatics precedes him. Also this week, an unprecedented 9-minute single, as AJ Lee & Blue Summit take on "The Glendale Train" with imagination and epic solos. Tray Wellington has at last realesed his "Man On The Moon" title single. And we feature a unique track from the overlap of jazz and folk, as Bill Frisell and Tim O'Brien team up with their former teacher Dale Bruning in a session from Boulder a few years back.
