Artist	Track	Comments	Approx. start time
Big Guitars from Texas	Guitar Army		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Greenbriar Boys	Mississippi Sawyer	A little jarring for this early but I love these guys. Urban bluegrass turned a lot of us onto some great music. Just like the Yardbirds & Stones turned me on to blues, back in the 60s, these guys (& other urban bluegrass bands) got me into old timey & bluegrass. More coming.	0:02:47 (Pop-up)
Michael Chapman	Thurston's House "Thurston's House" by "Michael Chapman"	From "Trainsong: Guitar Compositions 1967-2010" (Tompkins Square, 2011)	0:04:25 (Pop-up)
John Miller	Lady Be Good "Lady Be Good" by "John Miller"	One of those songs I hear everywhere, many versions, many styles. This one took a while to catch on with me.	0:08:13 (Pop-up)
Norman Blake	OBC #3 "OBC #3" by "Norman Blake"	Both this and the previous song are from a nice Rounder guitar collection, from 1987. Norman Blake is one of the great pickers of our time.	0:09:47 (Pop-up)
Glenn Jones	On the Massachusetts-Virginia Border	Don't know about this Jones but it's a burn, on Thrill Jockey: "Even to Win Is to Fail." No year available.	0:15:11 (Pop-up)
Frank Fairfield	Haste to the Wedding/The Darling True Love	Another new Tompkins Square CD: "Out On the Open West." It's a cool instrumental until the singing starts-- not that the singing is bad!	0:18:21 (Pop-up)
Greenbriar Boys	Darby Ram "Darby Ram" by "Greenbriar Boys"	In New Orleans, they do this as a brassy funky tune. Great song: John Herald singing lead. Hear that high lonesome yodeling sound!	0:22:40 (Pop-up)
Woodstock Mountain Revue	Warm Rain	Written by John Herald, who does lead vocals. Harmony vocals & dobro from Cindy Cashdollar. This album, from 1981, also has Pat Alger, Happy & Artie Traum, Keith & Rooney. And Roly Salley.	0:31:18 (Pop-up)
Demolition String Band	Wisteria "Wisteria" by "Demolition String Band"	Straight outta Hoboken. From "Different Kinds of Love" on Breaking Records, 2007. On the hills of Jersey...City.	0:35:22 (Pop-up)
Laura Cantrell	Making Believe "Making Believe" by "Laura Cantrell"	It's so much fun to play Laura's latest: "Kitty Wells Dresses: Songs of the Queen of Country Music." Go buy it. On Diesel Only.	0:38:21 (Pop-up)
The Lonesome Strangers	Goodbye Lonesome, Hello Baby Doll	This is Randy Weeks et al, from their 1989 High Tone album. A Johnny Horton tune.	0:41:41 (Pop-up)
Rosie Flores	Blue Highway "Blue Highway" by "Rosie Flores"	I found this one (and the one before it) on a Hightone Records Anthology that I bought for $2-- a double CD collection.	0:43:40 (Pop-up)
Nick Lowe	Changing All Those Changes	The standout track on a pretty good album of Buddy Holly covers: "Rave On Buddy Holly" on Fantasy (2011).	0:46:59 (Pop-up)
Blackie & the Rodeo Kings w/ Lucinda Williams	If I Can't Have You	I did a double-take when I saw this CD: duets with Lucinda, Rosanne Cash, Cassandra Wilson, Pam Tillis and other terrific female vocalists. Wow. The album is "Kings and Queens" (File Under Music, 2011)	0:48:46 (Pop-up)
Blackie & the Rodeo Kings w/ Cassandra Wilson	Golden Sorrows	Let's do another!!	0:51:46 (Pop-up)

Gene Clark	Kansas City Southern "Kansas City Southern" by "Gene Clark"	Solo Gene, from "Two Sides to Every Story" (RSO, 1977). The cover always haunts me: he looks very cool, very content. Not Hollywood rock star. Sad that he died less appreciated than he deserves!	1:14:30 (Pop-up)
Gene Clark	Spanish Guitar "Spanish Guitar" by "Gene Clark"	From his first solo album, simply called Gene Clark, post-Byrds/Burrito Brothers. So sweet.	1:19:02 (Pop-up)
