Durham County Poets Kevin Harvey talks the blues, more new releases and a tribute to Laura Smith

Program Title: Folk Roots Radio Episode 499: feat. Durham County Poets, More New Releases & Laura Smith Tribute
Description: Kevin Harvey, front man and lead vocalist of the Durham County Poets joins us on Episode 499 of Folk Roots Radio to chat about their latest album, a full on blues recording, "Hand Me Down Blues" which has earned nominations for Blues Album of the Year at the 2020 Junos & the 2019 Maple Blues Awards New Artist/Group of the Year. It’s a wonderful tribute to some of their influences, and Kevin Harvey is always a great interview. We also check out more of the new music we’ve received, and this time around we hear from Little Misty, The Lonesome Ace Stringband, Frank & Allie Lee and Frank Birtwistle. We wrap up the episode with a special three song tribute to Nova Scotia based folk singer Laura Smith who sadly left us this week. Laura Smith had an absolutely fabulous singing voice, and though, because of some health challenges she did not leave a large body of recorded music, the fabulous albums she created deserve to be shared and savoured. Her spirit will live on. Safe Home, Sweet Light!
