| Artist | Track | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Big Guitars from Texas | Bulldoggin' Boogie | good morning! |
| The Des Champs Orchestra | It Takes a Thief | Gee, when I played this at 6 am this morning it didn't so much like television. Not bad for TV but still TV. |
| Casey & the Pressure Group | Venus | Another one, this one a little more interesting. Oh well. |
| Earl King w/ Roomful of Blues | Somebody's Got a Tail | A nice collaboration, New Orleans r&b guitar backed up by Rhode Island horns; from a 1986 album called "Glazed" (after King's donut shop hangout) on Black Top Records. |
| Grateful Dead | Sugar Magnolia | Scratchy vinyl bootleg with the labels flipped, so I played the wrong side. Good though. Except for the sour vocals. Sorry boys. |
| Old & In the Way | Land of the Navajo | Western myth in this Peter Rowan tune, done with a snazzy combo: Garcia on guitar, David Grisman playing mandolin, Vassar Clements on fiddle |
| Peter Rowan | The Gypsy King's Farewell | Another Peter Rowan song, this one with help from Flaco Jiminez, Mike Seeger, Alice Gerrard and others |
| Earl King | Lonely Lonely Nights | A New Orleans hit from 1955, on Johnny Vincent's Ace Record label |
| Eddie Bo | SGB | Edwin Joseph Bocage, New Orleans piano player/songwriter, had more hits for other people than his own hits. The Bocage family has been playing funky jazz in NO for decades; Eddie Bo carried on that Professor Longhair tradition until his dealth last week. Cool fellow. |
| Barbara George | Something You Got | Eddie Bo produced this 1967 hit for Barbara George; it's included on an Eddie Bo compilation album, "In the Pocket with Eddie Bo" on VampiSoul (2008) |
| Beausoleil | Little Darlin' | Written by Julie Miller, done Cajun style on new CD: "Alligator Purse" (Yep Roc). Vocal help from Natalie Merchant plus John Sebastian on harmonica |
| Buddy & Julie Miller | What You Gonna Do Leroy | Robert Plant helping out on vocal |
| Van Morrison | The Way Young Lovers Do | From his recent live remake of "Astral Weeks" -- a great tune |
| Roswell Rudd | Bone Again with Bonerama | This guy is an amazing jazz character, a trombonist & ethnomusicologist who collaborates with musicians from Mali and Mongolia; this is from a new album, "Trombone Tribe" on Sunnyside |
| Amadou & Mariam | Bozos | Great song title for album with French lyrics; check out this new CD: "Welcome to Mali" (Nonesuch, 2009) |
| Getatchew Mekura | Yegenet Muziqa | From another Ethiopian collection. Didja see this guy play this summer at the FMU outdoor bash at Lincoln Center? Wow. |
| Kasbah Rockers w/ Bill Lasswell | Bred Atay | An interesting new album of songs in French and Arabic covering Moroccan street culture |
| Chris Ajilo and his Cubanos | Ariwo | No info on this excellent CD from Honest Jons-- "Marvellous Boy: Calypso from West Africa"-- but a bunch of the musicians are from Sierra Leone |
| Har-You Percussion Group | Welcome to the Party | Former FMU DJ Montego Joe was the leader of this large group of drummers; released in 1967, now available on CD on ESP Disk. |
| Antony & The Johnsons | Aeon | This guy's getting lotsa press too. From "The Crying Light" on Secrectly Canadian |
| Elizabeth Cotton | Wilson Rag | On the record and inner label, it says "Negro Folk Songs and Tunes" but Folkways dropped the Negro on the album jacket. Times changed from when this was recorded in 1958! |
| Dry Branch Fire Squad | Echo Mountain | A sad story-- "the cries on Echo Mountain still haunt me to this day" |
| Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem | Johnny I Hardly Knew You | "You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg, you're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg. You'll have to put out a bowl to beg. Johnny I hardly knew ye." "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"-- one of the best known American patriotic songs-- was written in the 1860s and sung during the Civil War. Some say that the tune is based on this Irish anti-war ballad. |
| Jimmy Smith | When Johnny Comes Marching Home | Kenny Burrell on guitar; recorded in Japan in 1993 |
| Greg Ribot | Mambalypso | Brother Marc plays guitar on a couple of cuts from Greg's terrific new album but this tune has Bill Ware on vibes. For more info on the CD-- "Lengua sin Palabras"-- go to gregribot.com |
| Jazz Mandolin Project | Hang Ten | From their 2000 Blue Note CD "Xenoblast" |
| Joel Plaskett | Light of the Moon | This guy has a rock & roll soul. The tune starts off in an odd way, scratchy vocals and all, but he turns it into a great song. He's from Nova Scotia and I'm surprised we haven't heard more from him |
| Evan Johns & the H-Bombs | Under the Willows in Dixie | This rowdy Austin guitar slinger is one of the Big Guitarists. A backhanded compliment: I'm impressed that he wrote this song! |
| Neko Case | People Got A Lotta Nerve | She's hot these days. Congrats! |
| Anita Carter | I Won't Change for You | Omni put out a collection of 28 tunes, drom the 60s & 70s plus a bunch of cool duets. The album is called "Songbird" |
| Carter Family | Come Back Home | This is Anita, June and Mother Maybelle-- not the earlier generation. A little sacharine. |
| Chris Gaffney | Loser's Paradise | Title cut from 1995 Hightone solo album. Chris is more often found playing guitar for Dave Alvin or in the Hacienda Brothers. Thanks to Ken Levy for lying this CD on me. |
| Bonnie Prince Billy | You Can't Hurt Me Now | aka Will Oldham, prolific songwriter who has great musicians joining him, wherever he goes. This new CD-- "Beware"-- is on Drag City |
| Flatlanders | Midnight Train | Joe Ely sings lead on this one. These Texans will be in NYC at BB KIngs on April 9. |
| Butch Hancock | Personal Rendition of the Blues | This Flatlander writes amazing songs. This one is from a 1979 album that Butch & Lloyd Maines produced-- "The Wind's Dominion"-- when they were still in Lubbock. It's now on CD. |
| M Shanghai String Band | Cookie Jar | Fine local band with snazzy new album-- "The Mapmaker's Daughter". They'll be on Irene's show on April 6, then go to CD release party Tuesday, April 7, at Joe's Pub |
| M Shanghai String Band | Meteor Storm | What a sweet tune!! |
| Dexter Romweber Duo | Lonesome Train | From "Ruins of Berlin" (Bloodshot, 2009). With sister Sara on drums on Exene Cervenka on vocals |
| Dexter Romweber Duo | People, Places and Things | |
| James Talley | Daddy Just Called It The Blues | James had a major label release-- "Blackjack Choir"-- on Capital in 1977. I think he's still around but haven't heard anything in a long time. Anyone know what he's up to? |
| Damian & Stephen Marley | Calypso Blues |

Gee, nice to hear from you all. I was too frazzled this week to send out an email saying I was on. And it's early: this show will sound better (to me) when I listen to it later on the archive. But I got the groove now.

Thanks for the note about the email. I was hoping I hadn't fallen off the list.
Lovin' the title and the tune "Bone Again with Bonerama"!

Chip, I was aloof to the fact that they were playing that close. Don't see myself making up there per work being so crazy these days. Saw them a few years ago... good stuff. Thanks for pointing it out.

You played the Grateful Dead. Normally, you would have to be sent on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney for that crime against humanity. Fortunately for you, the rest of the show gets an A+.
