This was fun. The great cliches of rural american music: factory closures, no good cheatin', "i done a crime and will be hanged", "troubles I got - you have no idea mate", "this town is fucked, i'm leaving" and the classic "all my problems are solved by drinking to excess". As well as few songs about significant weather events and a couple of warnings that war is bad and love is a bit tricky.

All over the place tonight with a blast from 1974 Rory Gallagher, brand spanking new Mary Elaine Jenkins and Sarah Shook and the Disarmers. Some outlaw country that might have actually been a bit shit, Marty Robbins, and some sadly beautiful Slaid Cleaves. Billy Bragg and Joe Henry because Billy's here this week, and a nudge to The Eastern and a couple from Reb Fountain just because those folks are national treasures.

Swerving around a bit tonight with more than "both kinds" of music. Celebrating Delaney Davidson's shows over the weekend, but sadly the Roy Orbison CD gives up the ghost on live radio. A bit of a Calexico vibe because (eeeek) they're coming early next year and some heavy stuff from Bohannons and The Sparrows. New Magic Factory release, and happy birthday Joni with Courtney-Marie Andrews, Shana May Cleveland and The Sandcastles, Jenny don't and The Spurs & Sarah Shook and The Disarmers. Plenty more too. Couple of mistakes in the set list - but thats what you get typing at the same time as playing songs on the radio on a Sunday night.

Had some fun with a show full of covers and standards. So you've got your classic In The Pines, Knoxville Girls, Oh Susanna's and Long Black Veils as well as Townes doing Bruce, Joe Strummer doing Bob Marley, Johnny Cash doing Soundgarden, Shovels and Rope doing the Ramones and a lady called Katy Melua doing The Cure's Just Like Heaven so beautifully that people were fizzing on the phone line. Tuck in and enjoy.
