| Artist | Track | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Big Guitars from Texas | Near East Beast | I don't usually play this one, a Denny Freeman composition |
| Bob Brozman Orchestra | Lumiere de la Mer | BB plays (almost) all the instruments-- and there are many-- on his new album, "Lumiere" (Riverboat, 2007) |
| Kusuma Sari & Sading | Tabuh Penyuwud | Music from Bali, Gamelan Batel/Wayang Ramayana is the title of the CD. I can't stop reading Paul Theroux novels; his book-- the Consul's Files-- takes place in Malaysia, near Bali |
| Sonny Rollins | Someone To Watch Over Me | This Gershwin & Gershwin tune is worth waking up for, one of my two favorite tunes from "Silver City"--a 2-CD collection of Sonny' work. The other fave is "Tennessee Waltz" |
| Frankie Trumbauer | Singin' the Blues | One of the first tenor sax players to make melody the key to his playing; recorded in the 1920s with, I think, Bix on cornet |
| Hoagy Carmichael | Lazybones | My dad used to "sing" this song to wake us up, a song that echoed his working class philosophy: "Lazy bones, loafing all the day, how you expect to make a dime?" |

| Moussa Doumbia | Samba | 70s funk from Mali, on "Keleya" |

| Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil | Cinema Novo | Recorded 1993, "Tropicalia 2" brings together two pioneers of radical Brazilian music. The military dictatorship is long gone, Gil is now Minister of Culture in Brazil, Veloso an international star. Let's celebrate these victories! |
| Chris Coole | Skating on the Harbourfront | Cool Canadian clawhammer |
| Mark Schatz | Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon | Schatz doesn't sound like a Scottish name |
| Laura Boosinger | Sail Away Ladies | Three tunes from "Old Time Banjo Festival" on Rounder, 2007 |

| o'death | O Lee O | From "Head Home" on Earnest Jenning, 2007 |

| Derailers | Together Again | New CD by this Austin country band is mostly covers of Buck Owens tunes: "Under the Influence of Buck" (Palo Duro, 2007) |

| Mud Boy & the Neutrons | I've Got a Secret (Didn't We Shake Sugaree) | This is Jim Dickinson & SId Selvidge, in 1995, doing one of Fred Neil's many great songs; these Memphis musicians are still out there. Keep an eye/ear out for them |
