Listen to this show:
RealAudio
| Artist | Track | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Big Guitars from Texas | Ride of the Ruthless | Real rock & roll to kick off the show |
| Bomboras | Night of the Bomboras | "Head Shrinkin' Fun"-- the Bomboras 4th album-- came out in 1998 on the Zombie A Go-Go label. |
| Tailgators | Swamp's Up | Don Leady wrote "Ride of the Ruthless" and played on the first (of two) "Big Guitars from Texas" album. Tailgators are a great swamp boogie/twang power trio, always hot. |
| The 5, 6, 7, 8's | Woo Hoo | This version of the Rock-A-Teens 1950s hit comes from the "Kill Bill, Volume 1" soundtrack. |
| Bernhard Hermann | Twisted Nerve | More Kill Bill. Tarantino always has good taste in music. |
| Rev Norb | Brief Theme of Extraordinary Sadness | This guy's from somewhere around Green Bay, WI. Calls himself Earth's Greatest Rocker. |
| Rev Norb | Unified Field | You can get in touch with Rev Norb via email at nrevorb@greenbaynet.com. Tell him I said hello. |
| Sue Foley | Oh Baby (We Got a Good Thing Going) | Austin-based blues guitar player sings a pretty good cover of Barbara Lynn tune; from her "Love Comin' Down" (Shanachie, 2000) |
| Rolling Stones | Oh Baby (We Got a Good Thing Going) | These guys can play and sing pretty good too. They did this tune on "Rolling Stones Now" back in 1965 |
| Darrell Nulish | Orange Soda | Neat harmonica instrumental from "Blues Harp Power"-- a collection from Rounder (aka Easy Disc) with lots of good blues guys |
| Barbarians | That's What the New Breed Say | I stumbled onto these guys in Provincetown, MA, on Cape Cod in the 60s. Rhino issued a great collection of their stuff, on vinyl, in 1979; now it's all on CD on Sundazed. |
| Barry & the Remains | Lonely Weekend | Maybe the best ever Boston rock & roll band-- which, some would say, is not saying much. This rockin' version of Charlie Rich tune was recorded in NYC in 1966. |
| Duke & the Drivers | Jack That Cat Was Clean | Back together after decades, these Bostonians are a blast. |
| Crazy Joe & the Variable Speed Band | Eugene | A cool dude in a loose mood! Ace Frehley had something to do with this 1978 classy tune. |
| Mink Deville | Cadillac Walk | When Willy was hot stuff. From "Cabretta" (Capitol, 1977) |
| Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings | How Do You Let A Good Man Down? | Check out their fine new CD called "Naturally" on Triagemusic out of Brooklyn. |
| Joe Ely | Lord of the Highway | Butch Hancock wrote this great song; it was the title cut to Joe's 1987 album on Hightone. |
| The Tribe | Leave Me In The Desert | More West Texas-- from a 1984 compilation on Electra, called "Ten from Texas" that includes Dan Del Santo and the Commandos. |
| Johnny Vortex | Surfin' the Love Skin | Texas bands, far from the ocean, still know how to surf. From "Garage Justice, Vol 1"-- 20 bands from NYC & Austin fight it out. |
| Weebads | Drink, Dance and Boogie | Felix Reyes and Hash Brown mix it up on "Texas Lovers" which mostly features Dallas bands |
| Ted Roddy | Pick Up & Move On | Formerly of Teddy & the Talltops, this guy has been doing the rockabilly thing in Austin for a long time. Check out musicroom.org for more info. |
| The Wild Seeds | Debi Came Back | "Live at the Continental Club" includes some of 1980s Austin's best: Leroi Brothers, Ponty Bone, Tailgators, Butch Hancock, Will Sexton, Joe King Carrasco... |
| Mark Pollack | Border Jump | Fine blues instrumental, also on "Texas Lovers" album |
| Joe King Carrasco | Let's Go | Farfisa-flavored party rock & roll from 1983 |
| Sir Douglas Quintet | Wooly Bully | The best Chicano rock & roll song ever, done here by San Antonio boys Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers et al on "Live Texas Tornado" (Takoma, 1983) |
| Hector & the Eastmen | Wobble Lou | More border music, this one off a great new CD: "Club Harlem: Whip! Wobble and Grind: 1962-1964" |
| Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers | El Albaniquito | Boogaloo from "The Hideout"-- Pucho's salute to funky NYC nightclub (Milestone, 2004) |
| Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers | Born to Groove | I used this as a bed (talkover music) but faded up the end of it for your listening pleasure. |
| Bembeya Jazz National | Guinee Hety Horemoun | The song is a tribute to the homeland, from "The Syliphone Years" (Stern's Africa, 2004). This amazing band is finally getting heard. |
| Joe Bataan | Keep the Change | Recent boogaloo from the soon-to-be released "Call My Name" on VampiSoul, produced by Daniel Collas. |
| Sir Douglas Quintet | You Never Get Too Big and You Sure Don't Get Too Heavy That You Don't Have To Stop And Pay Some Dues Some Time | Doug and band left Texas and headed out to the Bay Area for a while. From 1968 "Honkey Blues" |
| Willie Henderson & the Soul Explosions | Instrumental 11- Untitled | Our fadeout: from "Funky Chicken" on VampiSoul. Recorded 1970, released on CD in 2003. |
| Bobby Fuller | My Own True Love | Beginning of Gaylord's show but you can hear it on my archive! This short instrumental is from the El Paso rocker who did "I Fought the Law" and more |
| Fred Neill | The Water Is Wide | Also Gaylord but one of my faves too. |
| Dominique A. | Rien Qu'` Voir | Another Gaylord pick, ends abruptly. |
