Kevin Briody: Live In Studio B

Connecticut singer/songwriter Kevin Briody joined us in the on-air studio for the first hour to review his career as an up-and-coming songwriter and to promote his new CD "When No One's Watching" and his appearance Jan. 22 at The 12th Note Coffeehouse in nearby Stratford. He is a two-time finalist in the Kerrville New Folk Contest and was a showcase artist at the 1999 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. He resides in Ridgefield.

The second hour featured selections from three of my "baker's dozen" of favorites of 1999 from "across the Atlantic," usually a theme for an entire show. In lieu of that, I've listed the other albums on my picks at the bottom of this playlist This list complements the other baker's dozen from North America, which was the subject of our Jan. 7 show
