Colin James91Ƶs current album Open Road is his 20th studio album and his 19th nomination for Blues Album of The Year, winning at the 2022 Juno Awards.

In the latest installment of 91ƵToday in BC91Ƶ, host Peter McCully chats with the blues guitarist whose early years were playing traditional/Celtic music in his hometown of Regina.

91ƵIt was just a bunch of people getting together and playing dances,91Ƶ said James. 91ƵBut it was a great learning place for a 13-year-old. I was ears wide open all the time.91Ƶ

The first single for Open Road is 91ƵDown on the Bottom91Ƶ, a Bob Dylan tune from the 1960s.

91ƵYeah, he just wrote it and never put music to it,91Ƶ said James. 91ƵThe New Basement Tapes was put out a few years ago now, they recorded that song, and my producer liked it. I91Ƶm always happy to have another rock song in the group.91Ƶ

James is a member of the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame and has run into many interesting characters and great musicians over the years 91Ƶ and shares his thoughts and stories.

We91Ƶll also hear the single 91ƵDown on the Bottom91Ƶ - on this edition of Today in BC.
