His career emanated across the border from Detroit in Toronto where he became engulfed in the myriad of live music and the traveling acts that came through. His unique sound came in part from the Delta blues players who picked their way into Chicago and wound up with legions of younger white wannabes who heard, felt and plugged into the authenticity of Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters. As these aspiring musicians grew there names became part of one of the great pockets in our music history.

The Amos Garrett Interview 

My guest this week is the incomparable telecaster-slinger and all around guitar maniac, Amos Garrett. Detroit native Garrett began working as a professional guitarist north of the border in Toronto. There he played with the Dirty Shames, a folk jug band, before moving on to the country-rock-oriented Great Speckled Bird at the invitation of Ian and Sylvia. Perhaps best known for his inspired and jaw-dropping work on Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis", Amos went on to play on many classic albums for Jesse Winchester, Anne Murray, Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris, and Paul Butterfield. His studio work led him to California, and eventually to Alberta, Canada where he has resided for many years. Garrett also put out his own recordings, more than half a dozen, on Stony Plain Records. In 1989, his album The Return of the Formerly Brothers, garnered a Juno Award. Enjoy my conversation with Amos Garrett, and please subscribe to the podcast for free on iTunes!

I'd love to here from you! RECIPE OF THE WEEK Kosta’s Grilled Halibut Prepare your grill for direct medium heat. Make sure to scrape the grill before you put the halibut on.  A nice piece of boneless, skinless halibut Kosher salt or sea salt Freshly ground black pepper Olive oil Dried oregano leaves Lemon Season the halibut with salt and pepper and drizzle a little oil on each side. Just before you’re ready to cook, put some oil on a scrunched up paper towel and oil the cooking grates (be careful not to burn yourself). Place the halibut on the grill. As you put it on, use your tongs to move it back and forth along the cooking grate for the first few seconds to help avoid sticking. Turn it after just one or two minutes and close the grill. The halibut is done when it’s firm to the touch, or it reads 130F at its thickest part. Remove the halibut from the grill, let it rest for a couple of minutes and finish it with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of oregano and a drizzle of oil.  Serve it garnished with a lemon wedge with some rice and grilled veggies.
