WORLD PREMIER In Layman Terms, Delgado Brothers, Billy Price & CKNM Ilana Katz

SHOW # 218 In Layman Terms are Cole Layman, his sister Logan Layman and mom Sandy.  We met them a few years back when Cole & Logan were in the Youth Showcase with their other project, The unXpected, at the International Blues Challenge.  This year they adding mom on drums allowed them to compete in the IBC as a band this year.  Now, the Full-Length Album, Get Tangled is ready for release and they are honoring us by allowing Music On The Couch to air it! The Delgado Brothers have been making music for about 30 years in the Los Angeles area.  This past January, they came to Memphis representing the Ventura County Blues Society and walked away as winners in the Band Challenge.  Guitarist Joey was also named Gibson Guitar Player for the Challenge.    While we chat, we will listen to songs from their latest release, Learn To Fly. Billy Price has been entertaining fans with his distinctive vocals.  He was vocalist on two albums with the great Roy Buchanan and has led his own band since 1990. Last year he released This Time It’s For Real with the late Otis Clay and the album is up for a BMA Nomination.  Bob Margolin suggested I bring Billy on when he appeared back in February. I’ll get to learn much more about this wonderful artist while we listen to music from his album with Otis. Couch Kid New Music brings back Ilana Katz Katz, who we met last year through Anne Harris, who we met from her performing on Jeff Jensen’s album Morose Elephant.  I think it is so cool that Couch Kids suggest other artists…it means so much to me.  Ilana recently released her new album, Movin’ On, and we will speak with her about it and her time in Memphis during IBC week and what is on the horizon.
