| Big Guitars from Texas |
Hardy Street
|
This tune was written by Rick "Casper" Rawls of the LeRoi Brothers, one of many hot twangers from the Big Guitars crew |
| Doc Watson |
Liza/Lady Be Good
|
Mark O'Connor joins in on fiddle on this very good "Lady Be Good" duet; from the Shanachie Flat Picking Guitar Festival, 1990. |
| Darcy Deaville |
Ducks on the Red River Jigging
|
Austin fiddler plays with the ducks, on her 1991 CD, "The Last Hitchhiker on the Lost Highway" |
| Bruce Langhorne |
Three Teeth
|
A snippet of a tune from this fine folk guitarist. I know his work from the 60s with Dylan, Richard & Mimi Farina and others; this is from the soundtrack to Peter Fonda's 1971 "Hired Hand" movie. |
| Davy Graham & Holly |
Forty Ton Parachute
|
A 1970 album, recently re-issued on CD, from this British guitarist |
| Rene Lacaille & Bob Brozman |
Zok
|
Incredible duet. Lacaille is a brilliant player from Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean; Brozman is a California-based stringster |
| Bob Brozman |
Dead Cat on the Line
|
From his newest album-- "Blues Reflex"--Brozman does a couple of blues tunes, including this cover of the Tampa Red tune, originally done in the 1930s with Georgia Tom (aka Rev. Thomas Dorsey) helping out |
| Bob Brozman |
Rattlesnake Blues
|
Another blues number from the new Brozman CD. |
| Rene Lacaille & Bob Brozman |
Zok
|
I meant to play a tune from Bob Brozman's collaboration with Debashish Bhattyacharya but we got Rene Lacaille again. A great tune, hearing it twice is okay with me! |
| Tau Moe's Hawaiian Jazzites |
U Like, Noa Like
|
Bob Brozman and Debashish Bhattyacharya cite Tau Moe as an influence. Tau Moe's Hawaiian Jazzites is one of many fine groups featured on Yazoo's compilation CD "Slidin' On the Frets: The Hawaiian Steel Guitar Phenomenon" (2000) |
| Debashish Bhattyacharya |
Hindustani Slide Guitar
|
Bed (talkover) music here, deserves to heard in its own right |
| Rene Lacaille |
La Mandoz
|
With horns and vocals (in French), Lacaille mixes it up on "Mapou" on Riverboat/World Disc (2004) |
| Ginger Baker |
Satou
|
Former Cream drummer play top quality world jazz, on "Horses and Trees" (Celluloid, 1986)-- with Nana Vasconcelos and Foday Musa Suso |
| Yusef Lateef |
Straighten Up and Fly Right
|
This is Yusef Lateef at his best, from his superb 1966 "The Golden Flute" album, now on CD on Impulse Jazz |
| Nat King Cole |
Straighten Up and Fly Right
|
"Cool down Papa/Don't You Blow Your Top" says the buzzard to the monkey in this 1942 novelty hit that Cole wrote with Irving Mills |
| New Birth Brass Band |
I Got A Woman
|
These guys started out, some still in high school, as a funky New Orleans street band. They've matured "New Birth Family"-- produced by George Porter, Jr of the Meters--on Fat Black Records (2004) |
| Ray Charles |
Goin' Down Slow
|
There's a scene in the movie where Jerry Wexler tells the young Ray not to sound like Nat King Cole or Charles Brown. This is early Ray and, though a bit derivative, he sounds pretty damn good |
| Jimmy McGriff |
I Got A Woman
|
Another cover of this popular Ray Charle's tune--written when he finally came into his own-- played here as bed music. Hope you don't mind. |
| Incredible String Band |
Ducks on a Pond
|
This tune on ISB's 1968 "Wee Tam" sounds as fresh and original as ever. Plus they sneak a little Woody in at the end! |
| Roger McGuinn & Pete Seeger |
Alabama Bound
|
A few years ago, McGuinn visited a bunch of old folkie friends and came out with a cool album of duets: "Treasures from the Folk Den" on Appleseed Records, 2001. |
| Mike Dalton |
You'll Never Know
|
Contemporary stuff from the Jersey Shore. Sounds good. Mike plays around a lot; find out more at mikedalton.com |
| Byrds |
Lazy Waters
|
The 1972 Byrds-- McGuinn, Gene Parsons, Clarence White and Skip Battin-- did this on "Farther Along" |
| Roger McGuinn & Eliza Carthy |
Reel
|
Another tune, an instrumental duet, from "Treasures from the Folk Den" |
| Youngbloods |
Sugar Babe
|
Traditional country blues tune with Banana's cool guitar licks and Jesse Colin Young vocals, from "Earth Music" (1967) |
| Robert Wyatt |
Pigs
|
Wyatt is a radical British folk rocker with a clever sense of humor and a righteous anger. I almost called this show "Pigs in Winter" |
| Bill Monroe |
Can't You Hear Me Calling
|
Bluegrass classic to get us back on track |
| Professor "Louie" & the Crowmatix |
Jack-A-Roe
|
Woodstock-area folkies do it up with this traditional British tune; Garth Hudson helps out on this album (but not this song) |
| Donna the Buffalo |
Man of Constant Sorrow
|
Another traditional folk tune, done with a touch of ska |
| Sara Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irions |
Mornin's Over
|
Nice CD from Woody/Arlo progeny: "Exploration" on New West, 2005 |

Fine trio out of Austin, with Marce Lacouture, Mark Viator & Jane Gillman, did a nice CD of Cajun-flavored music in 2000. Catch Marce's great radio show on krvs.org (Lafayette, LA) every Tuesday afternoon |
| Jimmie Dale Gilmore |
Ramblin' Man
|
Jimmie has been doing this Butch Hancock tune for years but recorded it only recently-- two versions on his last two CDs |
| Billy Joe Shaver |
Eagle on the Ground
|
From "Billy & the Kid" (Compadre, 2004) is a sweet/sad tribute to guitar player/son Eddie Shaver, who died in 2000 |
| Ray Wylie Hubbard |
Drivin' Wheel
|
New CD-- "Delirium Tremelos" (Philo, 2005)-- is filled with clever originals but this cover is just too good to miss. The album was produced by Gurf Morlix, with harmony vocals by Patty Griffin and Eliza Gilkyson |
| Janine Wilson |
Breaking Up Somebody's Home

This DC-based blues singer went to Austin and got Jesse Taylor & Ernie Durawa to play on her album. Find out more @ janinewilsonband.com |
