For Episode 5 of "Open Season", I’ve gone with a bit of a theme show. Inspired by the calling of the Canadian election and approaching U.S. vote, several songs touch in some way or another on politics. Uplifted by the quality of some of the submissions to CBC’s "Hockey Anthem Challenge", I’ve copied some of them by songwriters you might know – I’ll run a few each episode till the winner is chosen.

The untimely passing of 50-year-old Paul McNamara, bass player for The Nationals, on Aug. 26, led me to include a song by The Nationals he played on, as well as a tune by an old friend of ours, Mallory Gawn, who was visiting from New Zealand when Paul was found at home after passing in his sleep, and who came out to be with the old gang at Paul’s wake on Aug. 31.

And there are other goodies – live Ska from Orbit Room, Country music from Brickyard BBQ and lots more! The full playlist appears below.
