Radio Scotland

Is this the best Radio Station in the world - quite possibly?

Highly recommended listening particularly the following shows which I try and listen to or at least catch up with on iplayer

Tom Morton - excellent mix of great music, pointers to new releases and classic tracks. Some good banter as well.

Get It On - a themed slot consisting of 2hours of requests based on a theme. Check out the blog link below, very addictive!

Iain Anderson - late night mix of folk, country, Americana and a good few stops in between.

Another Country - great show presented by Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue showcasing the best of Americana with some excellent live sessions. Unfortunately tonight is the last of the current series.

Daniel Wylie and the Cosmic Rough Riders

Here is an artist that is new to me but seems interesting, certainly judging by the tremendous list of influences. His web page is offering free downloads of what is affectively a compilation album. I will leave it to you to judge....

Bob Dylan Download

I think this is only available for a short time but as a track from his eagerly awaited new album get yours while you can!

Well here goes......

I have been threatening to myself to do a blog page after failed attempts at social networking, myspace etc etc.
