DEAN MAGRAW - Gracie's Reel [BROKEN SILENCE/Red House]
CLIFTON CHENIER - Hungry Man Blues - [CLIFTON CHENIER SINGS THE BLUES/
	Arhoolie]
	Fablulous blues from the King of Zydeco (who was just about the 
	King of the Blues as well)

7:08pm
GLENN LEE - Joyful Sounds [SACRED STEEL: TRADITIONAL SACRED AFRICAN-
	AMERICAN STEEL GUITAR MUSIC IN FLORIDA/Arhoolie]
	Wish the music sounded like this in my church when I was 
	growing up, instead of a dreary electric organ and a bunch 
	of singers who all sounded like they were on Thorazine ...
BIG JOE DUSKIN - Little Red Rooster [CINCINNATI STOMP/Arhoolie]
BLIND BOY FULLER - Thousand Woman Blues [BEFORE THE BLUES, VOL. 3/Yazoo]
PETER CASE & DAVE ALVIN - Monday Morning Blues [AVALON BLUES: 
	A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT/Vanguard]

7:25pm
THE HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN - Forget-Me-Nots [GHOST TRAIN/Hightone]
	Brand-new, and composed by Elana Fremerman.
PORKY FREEMAN - Boogie Woogie Boy [DOUGHBOYS, PLAYBOYS AND COWBOYS: 
	THE GOLDEN YEARS OF WESTERN SWING, VOL. 4 - OOGIE BOOGIE/
	Proper Records]
CLIFF BRUNER - That's What I Like About the South [DOUGHBOYS, PLAYBOYS 
	AND COWBOYS: THE GOLDEN YEARS OF WESTERN SWING, VOL. 4 - 
	OOGIE BOOGIE/Proper Records]
	Gee, considering I used to do an entire one-hour show of Western 
	swing at this radio station, it's been ages since I played any 
	on this show.  Time to make up for that, I think.
THE RED STICK RAMBLERS - Sweet Georgia Brown [recorded live at 
	Grant Street Dancehall, Lafayette, LA]
	A "Down Home" first -- I noticed that the boys had some new 
	exclusive MP3s on their website, downloaded it while the Porky 
	Freeman song was playing, listened to it while the Cliff Bruner 
	song was playing, then broadcast it directly from my iBook into 
	the control board.  Nifty!

7:42pm
NICKEL CREEK - Spit on a Stranger [THIS SIDE/Sugar Hill]
	Yep, you guessed it.  It's a Pavement cover, and it's terrific.
PHIL TAGLIERE - Places [SLOW/Bong Load]
	Excellent album from L.A. singer/songwriter; find out more 
	at www.philtagliere.com
OH SUSANNA - King's Road [SLEEPY LITTLE SAILOR/Catamount]

7:55pm
THE OYSTER BAND - I Fought the Law [FROM LITTLE ROCK TO LEIPZIG/Ryko]
	And the law won!
FAIRPORT CONVENTION - My Love Is In America [XXXV: THE 35TH 
	ANNIVERSARY ALBUM/Compass]

8:08pm
RON KAVANA - Johnny Go Easy [HOME FIRE/Special Delivery]
	One of my very favorite Irish musicians (and criminally 
	under-appreciated in this country, methinks), hailing 
	from Cork City.  This album is available domestically \
	on Green Linnet
ÉAMONN COYNE - Whistling Reels [THROUGH THE ROUND WINDOW/
	Compass]
	Brilliant tenor banjo player from Dublin, now resident in 
	Edinburgh and a member of the band Russell's House.  Joined 
	here by the likes of Dermot Byrne and Ciarán Curran 
	of Altan.
AOIFE CLANCY - Reconciliation [SILVERY MOON/Appleseed]
	Pronounced "EE-fa".  A native of Co. Tipperary, a former member 
	of Cherish the Ladies and daughter of Bobby Clancy of the 
	legendary Clancy Brothers.  This is her third solo album, and 
	here she covers a fantastic Ron Kavana song (that in fact appears 
	in its original version on the above RK album). It's about the 
	only way to end the so-called "Troubles" in the north of Ireland.
NATALIE MacMASTER - Bog an Lochan Steps [LIVE/Rounder]
	Killer Scottish-based fiddling from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

8:27pm
