I've got the names of the winners of three Murphy's Saloon t-shirts. Listen to the show for details.

This week's music:

• I Won't Go Back by Joe White from GarageBand.

• Just A Fool by Big Hammer from GarageBand.

• Woolly Mammoth by Robert Farrell at the PodSafe Music Network.

• Married to the Blues by Chumslick Nick and the Sharks.

• Highwayman by Tinsley Ellis at the Podsafe Music Network. Many thanks are also due to Bruce Iglauer and Alligator Records.

Murphy's Saloon intro and outro are from Just Got To Boogie and Shuffle In The Nineties, respectively, both by Matt Thorpe. Props and respect to Brain Buckit and Dave from the Chub Creek Podcast, who provided the previous intro and outro, but it was time for a change.

If you'd like to see where other Murphy's Saloon listeners live, you can check out the Murphy's Friends map over here. So far, the most distant listener of Murphy's Saloon is in Singapore, while the listener who lives the furthest north resides in the Shetland Islands of the United Kingdom (he's a new listener, too). Do I have any listeners in Africa, South America or central Asia? I dunno - but if you live in those places and listen to Murphy's Saloon, please put a pin in the map.

Welcome back to Murphy's Saloon, Podcast Home of the Blues. I hope you had as much fun over the holidays as I did. I'm looking forward to the Murphy's Saloon Podcast getting bigger and better in 2006. I hope you have as much fun listening as I do putting the shows together.

Since both Black & Tan Records, and Alligator Records joined the Podsafe Music Network in December, I think a show featuring artists from both labels was the obvious way to go this week. Hence, tonight's theme.

• Ain't Good Lookin' by Billy Jones.

• Running To New Orleans Byther Smith.

• Mountain Top by Boo Boo Davis.

• Jona Lee by Roomful of Blues.

• Big City by Luther Allison.

• Natural Man by Lil' Ed and The Blues Imperials.

Also, Alligator Records is here, and Black & Tan Records is here.

The Murphy's Saloon intro is from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit and the show outro is from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast.
