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 | From "Trainsong: Guitar Compositions 1967-2010" (Tompkins Square, 2011) | 0:04:25 (Pop-up) |
John Miller | Lady Be Good | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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) |
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss | Killing the Blues | Written by Roly Salley, of Woodstock Mountain Review & lots more. | 1:00:52 (Pop-up) |
Dillard & Clark | Out on the Side | This combo-- Gene Clark working with banjo whiz Doug Dillard-- produced two of the best albums of the 70s. | 1:06:51 (Pop-up) |
Dillard & Clark | Train Leaves Here This Morning | This song co-written by Bernie Leadon, a founder of the Eagles. Clark, of course, was a founder of the Byrds. Nice, huh?! | 1:10:44 (Pop-up) |
Gene Clark | Kansas City Southern | 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 | From his first solo album, simply called Gene Clark, post-Byrds/Burrito Brothers. So sweet. | 1:19:02 (Pop-up) |
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss | Polly Come Home | Written by Gene Clark. His version is on the second Dillard & Clark album. | 1:24:08 (Pop-up) |
Everly Brothers | Gone Gone Gone | This is the original; part of a long country tradition of harmony duos. | 1:29:41 (Pop-up) |
The Orlons | South Street | 1963 Philly hit, part of the Cameo/Parkway scene-- which included "Bristol Stomp" and lots more. I assume this song is one of the earliest mention of hippies. | 1:36:23 (Pop-up) |
Dennis Coffey | 7th Galaxy | Funk Brothers guitarist has fine solo album on Strut (2011) | 1:38:44 (Pop-up) |

Gary US Bonds | New Orleans | Is this really from 1960? Boy, I'm old. I remember this from when I went to the James A Garfield Junior High School in Revere, Massachusetts. | 2:30:39 (Pop-up) |
NRBQ | I'm Satisfied | Nice new album, new band. It's cool to be able to regenerate. | 2:33:48 (Pop-up) |
Marianne Faithfull | Goin' Back | The Byrds do a superb job with this, a Carol King-Gerry Goffin song. This is a good versiono, from a new album: "Horses & High Heels" (Naive, 2011). BTW, she looks great. | 2:35:55 (Pop-up) |
Old 97s | You Call It Rain | New CD sound good: "The Grand Theatre" on New West. Why do they have to spell theater that way?! | 2:39:43 (Pop-up) |

A request for Ian and Sylvia, perhaps, before you sign off ??
Been listening to a lot of Van Ronk lately, too.... very timely!
You made my morning drive to work a special one... even though FMU has been very static-y lately, for some reason... transmitter problems ?
Hugh:
So good to hear you online, again! Thanks for the fill-in.
