CHRISTY MOORE - Joxer Goes to Stuttgart [CHRISTY AT THE POINT LIVE!/
     Newberry-Columbia UK]
THE JAYHAWKS - Over My Shoulder [TOMORROW THE GREEN GRASS/American 
     Recordings]  Some mighty sweet fiddle playing on this song.

     LIKE A HERO/Chiswick]
 
TARIKA - Kilalao [BIBIANGO/Green Linnet-Xenophile]
ALI FARKA TOURE with RY COODER - Lasidan [TALKING TIMBUKTU/Hannibal]
     One that I forgot about for my Best of '94 shows!
BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON - I'm Gonna Run To the City of Refuge [PREACHIN'
     THE GOSPEL: HOLY BLUES/Columbia-Legacy]
 
SEAN TYRRELL - No-Go [CRY OF A DREAMER/Longwalk Records]  Debut solo album
     from the excellent Galway singer.
FRANKIE LANE - Jenny's Welcome to Charlie [DOBRO/Gael-Linn]  Brilliant
     collection of Irish and other tunes, played on dobro by ex-Fleadh
     Cowboy Lane.  Eye-opening.
LUKA BLOOM - I Need Love [recorded live on SNAP, 4/26/1990, at KCRW]
     I've heard tim do this numerous times.  This performance was the
     best ever.
THE BOTHY BAND - Martin Wynne's/The Longford Tinker [LIVE IN CONCERT/BBC
     Records]
TOASTED HERETIC - Here Comes the New Year [MINDLESS OPTIMISM/Bananafish]
     By request.
 
The 1:00am feature .. the next generation of Cajun musicians, featuring
the new Rhino release ALLIGATOR STOMP, VOLUME 5: CAJUN & ZYDECO, THE NEXT
GENERATION, produced by and liner notes by ... ME!  :-)
KRISTI GUILLORY & BILL GRASS - Les Veuves de la Coulee [REVEILLE/Swallow]
     More from the brilliant debut album from 15-year-old accordionist/
     singer/songwriter Guillory and 19-year-old fiddler Grass.
BALFA TOUJOURS - Two-Step a Tina [ALLIGATOR STOMP 5/Rhino]
TASSO - Les Blues de Basile [VIENS A MA MAISON/Swalow/Swallow]  Another
     young Cajun band, a trad. acoustic trio.  For three guys in their
     early 20's, they sound like 90-year-old men, and believe me, in
     this context that's a great compliment.  They amaze on this track,
     evoking hte spirit of Amedee Ardoin as they sing his song.
BEAU JOCQUE & THE ZYDECO HI-ROLLERS - Give Him Cornbread [ALLIGATOR STOMP
     5/Rhino]
KRISTI GUILLORY & BILL GRASS - Une Affaire a Pu Finir (A Love That Never
     Dies) [REVEILLE/Swallow]  Not is the 15-year-old Guillory a powerful
     singer, she's already a mature songwriter, as evidenced in this tune.
 
OYSTER BAND - Love Vigilantes [RIDE/Cooking Vinyl]  By request.
CHRISTINE COLLISTER - The Bird That I Held In My Hand [LIVE/Fledg'ling-
     Hokey Pokey]  New solo album, terrific stuff!  This is a T-Bone
     Burnett song.

     new album; this track featuring Jerry O'Sullivan on the pipes.
BOO HEWERDINE - 59 Yds [IGNORANCE/Enisgn]  Solo debut from English singer/
     songwriter and frequent Darden Smith collaborator.  Import only .

     B. o'94.
SKIP JAMES - Catfish Blues [DEVIL GOT MY WOMAN/Vanguard]
KENNY NEAL - It Hurts Me Too [HOODOO MOON/Alligator]  Latest from Louisiana
      bluesman.
 
BETTIE SERVEERT - Keepsake [LAMPREY/Matador]
JASON & ALISON - Leaving [WOODSHED/Whitehouse]  Amazing stuff.  23-year-old
     singer/songwriter Jason Narducy (who has a Bob Mould-like intensity
     on his acoustic guitar) and cellist Alison Chesley (with lots of 
     effects pedals).  You'll hear more soon.
KITCHENS OF DISTINCTION - Come On Now [COWBOYS AND ALIENS/A&M]
NICK LOWE - The Beast In Me [IMPOSSIBLE BIRD/Upstart]  The song he wrote for
