Celebrating the music of Roy (Absalom) Payne (born April 3, 1939) - a prolific country singer-songwriter from Trout River, Newfoundland, often called the province's "beloved outlaw". Renowned for his storytelling and raw lyrics, Roy has written over a thousand songs that blend traditional country with deep-rooted Newfoundland pride.
Payne remains best known for the 1971 hit "Goofy Newfie," as well as regional anthems like "No Price Tags on the Doors of Newfoundland" and "The Little Boats of Newfoundland". His patriotic song, "I Wouldn’t Take a Million Dollars for a Single Maple Leaf," became a major Canadian hit and remains a fan favourite. Payne composed the soundtrack for the 1977 film Love at First Sight, Dan Aykroyd's debut movie. In 2010, he received the MusicNL Lifetime Achievement Award.

Interview with Thomm Jutz, one of North America’s finest songwriters, featuring a collaboration between this American singer-songwriter-producer and British folk singer, guitar player and producer Martin Simpson. Their collaboration centres upon a collection of English ballads gathered in the early 1900s by the great English folklorist Cecil Sharp and his assistant Maud Karpeles from Appalachian folk singers Mary Sands and Jane Gentry. Numerous of these ballads, like “Fair and Tender Ladies”, would eventually become absorbed in early North American folk music. (Note that Martin Simpson produced Newfoundland singer-songwriter Matthew Byrne’s latest release “Stealing Time” (ref. Episode 340).
