Hello dear reader! It has been a while since I posted anything - bit inexcusable as we have all had time on our hands over that last year or so!
Anyway I have been taking part in an online radio station Lockdown Country Radio - I am playing Americana (I now I know what exactly is Americana?). Whilst I wont reach any heady heights it is good fun compiling and ordering the tracks and of course it is not as easy as I would have thought. Hats off to Willie Evans who adds a bit of gloss on the transitions.
This Friday at 9pm (about an hour from now) you can hear a playlist based on the great Americana UK webistes critics choice of the greatest Americana albums.
Easist thing is to ask Alexa and if I can work it out I will post a mixcloud link.
Here is the playlist, I am sure you will have your own view on what is missing.
Next week it is "New Classics" which I am freally excited to hearing how it sounds! I will update here.
This weeks playlist:
Emmylou Harris Darkness Hour Is Just Before Dawn
The Civil Wars Barton Hollow
Flying Burrito Brothers Dark End Of The Street
Laura Cantrell Not The Tremblingn' Kind
Uncle Tupelo No Depression
Wilco War On War
Paul Kelly and the Messengers Leaps and Bounds
Cowboy Junkies Sun Comes Up Its Tuesday Morning
Townes Van Zandt Pancho and Lefty
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash You Aint Going Nowhere
Dwight Yoakam Bury Me
Gene Clark Life's Greatest Fool
Johnny Cash The Beast In Me
Joni Mitchell A Case Of You
Neil Young I Believe In You
Obviously some very well known Artists and Tracks, but enough different things to keep the interest up I hope you will agree!
Enjoy.
Hopefully this link to a spotify playlist will work!
