Colin's 21st album is called Chasing the Sun. Today, Aug 17 is his Birthday. Happy Day Colin

Co-produced by Colin Linden in his Pinhead Studios in Nashville.

Colin's coming to the Mulligan Stew Podcast with the complete story of how he and his friends wrote and created these outstanding songs.

Colin singing a Lucinda Williams song, Protection, with Lucinda in the studio doing harmony. Two tracks with blues harp legend Charlie Musselwhite, co-writing memorable songs with Tom Wilson, Terra Lightfoot, Thompson Wilson, Jesse Obrien and others. A great rhythm section of Darryl Jones (Stones) Charley Drayton (Keith Richards).

A splendid cover of Paul Butterfield's classic In My Own Dream. Also vocals by The McCrary Sisters and Ruby Amanfu

Colin Linden leading the all-star band and co-writing with Colin James.

It's their 6th album together.

Colin and I have been doing interviews for a long time but there are still events and moments in his life that need retelling.

For example, when the two Colins’ met on the Canadian Prairies Colin James was 13 and Colin Linden was 17. Both were into playing the blues.

A short time later Colin, still a teenager, got to play for Stevie Ray Vaughn. Stevie helped him take the next steps in his career.

This is the complete Interview.

His 2021 album Open Road won the JUNO Award for Best Blues Album and was nominated for Blues Foundation Best Blues Rock Album in 2023.

Catching the Sun may very well get the best reception yet.
