In this week’s episode of Rob Reinhart’s Essential Music, so sad to say farewell to Chuck Mangione and Ozzy Osbourne. For Chuck, I’ve got some comments from our own Ed Love. for Ozzy, some Sabbath, some solo and some covers.

Also, new music from Detroit’s own The City Lines and Marshall Crenshaw, a neat cameo from Aimee Mann, Ontario’s Billy Raffoul and lots more!
