Desolation Angel Radio Thursday May 17th: The roots of it all, simple and pure

This Thursday's show was all about the roots of it, the basics. All acoustic, and reaching way back to people like Robert Johnson and Elmore James and pulling into the present with a ton of stuff from Luther Dickinson, the Carolina Chocolate Drops and the Heritage Blues Orchestra, with stops along the way at Duane Allman and the South Memphis String Band (Luther Dickinson, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Jimbo Mathus and company) and an absolutely stunning, smoking cut from Gary Clark, Jr.
If you can't sit down with an acoustic guitar, a banjo, a mandolin, a dobro, a fiddle; anything that is a stringed instrument that is completely unplugged and acoustic and can't sing a song or harmonize with others, what the hell are you doing calling yourself a musician? Because that's where it all began, and where it all has to come back to. Always, no matter what.

Desolation Angel Radio Tuesday May 15 2012: Blues at the root of it

Tuesday's episode was chock full of the blues, it's electric, modern derivative. People like Aaron Williams & The Hoodoo, Davis Coen, Reed Turchi and it's foremost proponent Lucero. Insurgent R & B from J. C. Brooks & The Uptown Sound. A couple of old masters, like Ray Wylie Hubbard with an ode to his wife Judy, or as she's known Mother Hubbard, and another old master Waylon, with a track from his son, Shooter setting up that whole father and son connection. A live cut from the acknowledged masters of finger-picking Toy and Tommy Caldwell, The Marshall Tucker Band.
Thanks for supporting the artists and the music. Remember to share these broadcasts, and remember to go find Desolation Angel Radio on Facebook and Like it to say in touch with the happenings around here.
