The first half of today’s three hour program featured two tracks from Chris Crossroads. Chris has roots in Winnipeg, but currently resides in Windsor, Ontario. The two songs we heard “Spare A Dime Blues” and “Rattlesnakes & Venom” both come from a release entitled Uroccan Cowboy and reflect a Folk, Country and Blues nature. The album was a limited DIY release and was recorded in Winnipeg with what was to become the Home Street Recording Company. The album was re-released in 2010. Recently Chris Crossroads took part in a 30 day song writing challenge in which he would write, record and post a video on youtube of a new song each day. During this 30 day span he wrote 30 songs, several in different genres. Currently Chris Crossroads is working on material for a new as of yet untitled album.
