Lee Aaron – ‘Diamond Baby’ (Big Sister Records/Universal): This original song is the title track from Diamond Baby Blues, (born) Karen Lynn Greening’s latest album. Laced with screaming blues-tinged rockers, the LP includes originals and covers, such as Clint Ballard’s “Your No Good,” Rod Stewart’s “Hard Road,” Deep Purple’s “Mistreated” and Koko Taylor’s anthemic “I’m A Woman.”

If ever anyone deserved to hit the big top and earn back the years she has put in as a singer on the road, Aaron is it. She’s not mellowed an iota here, and packs in 12 tracks that scream, soar, moan and rip with a backing band that does a whole lot more than play for pay. Upcoming show dates include outdoor jamborees that include Germany’s Wacken metal fest and Sweden's hard-rock Skogsrojet event. Later in the year, she has outdoor shows in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Music News Digest: CRTC Aims To Fill a Gap for Indigenous Radio in Toronto and Ottawa

The CRTC recently launched a call for applications for FM radio stations to serve Indigenous communities in Toronto and Ottawa. Broadcast Dialogue reports "the call follows the demise of First Peoples Radio’s ELMNT FM stations, which went off the air on Sept. 1 last year. Launched in the fall of 2018, the stations had a goal to 'fill the gap' for urban Indigenous listeners under-represented in the radio landscape. They carried an 'Indigenous-variety' format, featuring both English and Indigenous-language spoken-word and musical programming, with 25% of the playlist dedicated to Indigenous talent.

In its call, the commission says in its view, "there is a need and a demand for radio stations to serve the needs and interests of those communities."
