Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)! Show tracks for Sat. Sept. 29/12

The music world lost a relative unknown giant this week, Frank Wilson lost his battle with prostate cancer on Thursday. Motown aficionados and Northern Soul buffs know him well, but the general public enjoyed the fruits of his labour without even knowing it. He was a writer and producer at Motown Records. He wrote and produced hit records for Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, The Miracles, The Four Tops, The Temptations and many more. He even tried his hand at releasing his own material only to change his mind to keep writing and producing. He destroyed the single he recorded, almost all of them. Two are still in existence and fetch thousands of dollars at auction when sold. That record was Do I Love You (Indeed I Do). We open the show in tribute of Frank Wilson with some of his production work and his now famous single. RIP Frank.

We then move on the nominees for the 2012 Mercury Music Prize. We featured 10 of the 12 nominees. We start with what seems to be everyone's favourite to win it this year Alt-J(∆) and move on to my emotional pick Jessie Ware. The odds makers currently have Richard Hawley and Plan B at 4/1 to swoop the prize with Alt-J(∆) and Django Django at 5/1. There really isn't a bad album in the bunch.

Who Says You Can't Have It All! Show tracks for Sat. Sept. 1/12

Back to school time means it's time for some big new releases. We feature two highly anticipated albums tonight in the LP Sessions, The Vaccines and Two Door Cinema Club. Not to mention Jessie Ware and Noisettes thrown in for good measure.

I want to thank Scott for coming down last week and sitting in on the show. It was just like old times. Apparently he had such a good time he sent in some requests this week. He programmed the second full set from Leeds. Some fine picks I might add. Maybe if we ask him nicely he can do this on a regular basis.

Just a reminder that you can always send in your requests or comments here or email them to cowboysandindies@hotmail.com. If you're listening/streaming live you can call into the studio from Windsor at 519-971-3630 or ROW at 1-855-DIG-CJAM.
