Notes:

After a few weeks of various trips and obligations the studio normalized. The first hour included 3 Hank Williams' traks pulled from MGM LPs sent by listener George. These recordings are interestingly different because they are not on Hank's usual Mercury Record label.

The next stand out trak was Jimmy And Mama Yancey's Mournful Blues which was recorded in Chicago and released in 1951 on Atlantic. The interesting factoid here is this LP was the very first issued by Atlantic Records and to believe it was peacefully resting in Jeff's, " ...to listen stack" for weeks.

This morning's show had a smooth mix of good old Country that somehow went political in the second half. The good news is some rarely heard traks and several new artists got into the playlist.

Today's hot trak, courtesy of Eric Allen, was I'm A Drifter by The Tennessee Drifters. Peter Walker's ragas are internationally sweet. SXSW is a memory. Politicians ignoring terrorists. Death in the studio walls... sneeze, sneeze. Backward masking in each show. The Raga zone doesn't fit anywhere so we play it. Children Of Men gets 2 thumbs up. Music filtered through the America tradition. It's like we planned this, but we didn't.

Shows to see; Son Volt/Magnolia Electric Company April 7 at the Fox Theatre, and Oakley Hall April 28 at the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre. May 12 & 13 Drive-By Truckers at the Fox Theatre.

Post show libations/story telling at the Rio Grande.
