Episode 277: Lizanne Knott

This episode of Folk Roots Radio features an interview with Philadelphia singer-songwriter Lizanne Knott who joins us to chat about her latest album, the bluesy and jazzy “Excellent Day”, one of our favourites of the year so far. We also check out some of the latest new releases.

A long-standing member of the Philly music scene and partner in the famed MorningStar Studios Lizanne Knott’s “Excellent Day” is a smoky and sultry delight, featuring eight original songs and four very well-chosen covers… The Gershwins’ “Ain’t Necessarily So”, Springsteen’s “Stolen Car”, Janis Ian’s “Sometimes” and Jef Lee Johnson’s “Excellent Day”.
