RealAudio
| Artist | Track | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Big Guitars from Texas | High Tide in Hub City | Rycodisc combined two albums--"Trash, Twang & Thunder" and "That's Cool, That's Trash"-- into one find CD. |
| Davie Allan and the Arrows | Blues Trip | Sundazed just re-issued on CD three Davie Allan albums from the 60s, including "Cycle-Delic Sounds" from 1968 |
| Davie Allan and the Arrows | Another Cycle in Detroit | More biker soundtrack stuff from 1968, courtesy of Davie Allan and Mike Curb |
| Denny Freeman | Acapulco Rain | Austin picker-- on the Big Guitars from Texas-- put out a nice album in the 80s on Amazing Records. I hear he is now playing in Bob Dylan's band! |
| John Fahey | When the Springtime Comes Again | This has been re-issued before but "The Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick" (on Water) is a nice collection of early Fahey work. |
| Merle Travis & Joe Maphis | When It's Time for the Whipporwill to Sing | Another good one from Sundazed, this 1964 album is humbly called "Country Music's Two Guitar Greats" |
| Beacon Hillbillies | Hummingbird | Boston band from 1994 on East Side Digital |
| Charles River Valley Boys | And Your Bird Can Sing | I was a high school kid when I went to the Club 47 to see these guys play. In 1966, this Harvard Square bluegrass band (which included the late great Joe Val) put out a cool album of Beatles covers, now on CD. |
| Roy Book Binder | Cincinatti Flow Rag II | Fine picking from the folk blues guitar player and storyteller, now living in Florida |
| Roy Book Binder | Bisquits | Cover of a Bo Carter tune on Roy's "Travelin' Man" CD |
| Olu Dara | Okra | Brilliant eclectic jazz musician, brings a Mississippi blues feel to his music. Now known as dad of rapper Nas but top notch player on his own! |
| Oscar Brown Jr | Rags & Old Iron | I just heard, listening to Doug's show, that OBJ died on May 29, 2005 in his hometown of Chicago. This prolific jazz songwriter-- an amazing and important personality--was 78. |
| Fred Epps | Chinese Picnic & Oriental Dance | This 1923 banjo tune was part of a WFMU marathon premium CD: Thomas Edison's Attic Presents 'Prohibition Songs: edison Records 1919-1929' |
| Aaron Alexander | Peep Nokh A Mol | Klezmer jazz from "Midrash Mish Mosh" (Tzadik, 2004)-- with Greg Wall and Frank London helping out drummer Alexander |

| Delta Rhythm Boys | Flickornai Smaland | Black vocal group sings in Finnish, from "Guldkorn" on Metronome (Warner?) 2001 |
| Stanley Brothers | I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow | Ralph, with brother Carter, did this bluegrass classic in 1950 |
| Doc Watson | Bird Dog | With Marty Stuart, Mike Auldridge and others, from "Docabilly" |
| Everly Brothers | Sleepless Nights | Another Boudeloux Bryant tune. In 1994, Rhino put out a 4-CD box-- "Heartaches & Headaches"-- filled with more great songs than you can imagine! |
| Emmy Lou Harris | To Daddy | Beautiful cover of a sweet Dolly Parton song |
| James Burton & Ralph Mooney | Elusive Dream | In 1968, these superb players put out an album-- "Corn Pickin' and Slick Slidin'"-- that had this Tammy Wynette number. They sure can play but, for the most part, the album is way too corny and slick! |
| Modern Sounds | Long Gone Lonesome Blues | An album of Hank Williams covers, "in modern rock-acid sound"-- no musicians listed, no dates, no info. Very wierd. |
| Ian & Sylvia | Someday Soon | Brilliant cowboy folk tune by this 60s Canadian duo, written by Ian Tyson |

| Eddie "One String" Jones | Rolling and Tumbling Blues | There's a great story on allmusic.com about Jones, a street musician who was found on Los Angeles' Skid Row in 1960, playing a homemade one-string guitar board, using a whiskey bottle as his slide. From "Takoma Slide" (1999) |
| Bobby Bare Jr. | Bullet Through My Teeth | This guy is as good a songwriter and singer as his dad-- which is saying a lot. He has two albums on Bloodshot, including "Young Criminals Starvation League" (2002). |
| Spanic Boys | Won't You Help Me | What happened to this Milwaukee father-son duo? They have a bunch of nice albums, 3 on Rounder from the early 90s, a few more recent ones. |
| Buck Owens & the Buckaroos | Ruby (Honey, Are You Mad at Your Man?) | Sundazed is doing it all! They put out an excellent collection of Buck and the boys last year, with this song and lots more |
| Elizabeth Cotton | Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie | Sweet folk guitar tune from "There Is No Eye"-- a CD based on John Cohen's book of photos |
| Woody Guthrie | Ramblin' Round | Also from "There Is No Eye". This is one of Woody's tributes to migrant workers. |

| Tommy Hancock | Marfa Lights | Tommy's vocal version, from |
| Texana Dames | Why Baby Why | Tommy's family, with lots of help from Austin's finest, rocks a bit |
| Terry Allen | I Blame God | Jo Carol Pierce lyrics, done-- with just the right touch of irony-- by Lubbock artist Terry Allen |
| Flatlanders | Down in the Light of the Melon Moon | Butch Hancock-- no relation to fellow Lubbocker-Tommy-- with pals Jimmy Gilmore and Joe Ely, from |
| Tommy Hancock | Marfa Lights (Instrumental) | There something about West Texas that inspires a sense of wonder. From Big Bend to the Panhandle, there are few trees just wind & sky. Let's play this one again |
| Ruben Vela | Lo Nuestro Termino | From "Taste of Tex-Mex" on Music Club (1997) |
| Bob Dylan | Romance in Durango | Scarlett Rivera on fiddle, Emmy Lou Harris on harmony vocals. Amazing stuff from Dylan at his best! |
