Mary Newland and Richard Baker have been involved in the music business for over thirty years. They now make music as Mary & Richard - interpreting songs from the Great American Songbook. In their latest and most exciting endeavour they share their passion for the music of the 70s as performed by Linda Ronstadt, as the leaders of tribute band Mary Newland and The Blue Bayou Band. Mary Newland and Richard Baker joined us in the Folk Roots Radio studio to chat about their project. For more information about the Blue Bayou Band, visit http://bluebayouband.com. Music: Mary Newland & the Blue Bayou Band “Silver Threads and Golden Needles” (Live) and “Blue Bayou” (Live), Santana “Black Magic Woman” (excerpt) from “Abraxas” (1970, Columbia) and Mary Newland & the Blue Bayou Band “Desperado” (Live).
