The John Allen Show: Playlist from May 25, 2011

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot."

Wed. 5/25/11 7:33am Looms:

Bonjour Chaton.

Wed. 5/25/11 7:34am JA:

andrew, i love mickey newbury too much to give you an objective answer, but it is my honest opinion that if you don't buy the new mickey newbury boxset "an american trilogy" on drag city before it goes out of print forever then the gap in your songersongwriter knowhow will be so wide you might as well jump.

Wed. 5/25/11 7:36am Andrea on the M62:

God this is depressing

Wed. 5/25/11 7:38am annie:

i imagine you're listening to this and enjoying it as much as i have done with the old kate wolf songs.. bittersweet

Wed. 5/25/11 7:39am KevinWho:

fantastic, thank you for the newbury

Wed. 5/25/11 7:41am annie:

yup, ditto...

Wed. 5/25/11 7:45am KevinWho:

if this were to somehow now lapse into an hour of Steve Young, I might float straight to heaven

Wed. 5/25/11 7:49am Richard from Venezuela:

Good Morning DJ John and all the listeners.

Wed. 5/25/11 7:53am maja:

Wed. 5/25/11 8:01am Andrea on the M62:

The 62 is one long road this morning

Wed. 5/25/11 8:05am hamburger / london:

oh, hell, yes!

Wed. 5/25/11 8:05am annie:

now, THIS is how is should be sung...

Wed. 5/25/11 8:06am jbm:

Okay, I'll admit it. I just didn't know from Mickey Newbury until this morning.

What jbm said. Thanks for the introduction.

Wed. 5/25/11 8:09am glenn:

mickey newbury is awesome. look for his album frisco mabel joy.

Wed. 5/25/11 8:11am glenn:

because for some reason, the song frisco mabel joy isn't on the album.

Wed. 5/25/11 8:22am Looms:

Oh my, the less expensive copy of Frisco Mabel Joy costs 60$!

Wed. 5/25/11 8:25am glenn:
