Eight Forty Eight’s Jason Marck hosts this special musical edition of the show. Alison Cuddy talks to Radio M’s Tony Sarabia and music journalist Althea Legaspi about their favorite releases of the year. Then, we revisit a profile of guitar great Michael Bloomfield. Jason Marck looks back on Bloomfield’s life and music, 30 years after his passing. Then, we bring back four great musical performances by local artists-The Sea and Cake, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound, and Daniel Knox from 2011…and Califone from 2009.
