Desolation Angel Radio

Desolation Angel Radio April 10th

Here you go, the real deal. Musicians, real ones, who take chances and put themselves out there. The best of 2012, so far, in the first quarter. No cover bands, no posers, no weekend wanna-be's here. No NashAngeles created rhythms, software created lyrics, or consultant-bred fake outlaws here; they aren't welcome. No pop-country found here, no R & B/Country Lionel Ritchie/Rascal Flatts crossover pop shit here, that crap is shown for what it is here in Desolation Angel territory; fake, plastic profit driven garbage. If it's the junk you can hear on Kix Brooks, Jeff Foxworthy, your local Young Country or Classic Rock station, or can be seen on the CMA or AMC awards, you can't hear it here. Out here in the Desolation, all you hear is authentic, real, raw, passionate musicianship, hard work, originality and dedication.  The best of 2012 so far:
Shooter Jennings
Justin Townes Earle
Lucero
Ray Wylie Hubbard
Lincoln Durham
Kara Clark
Otis Gibbs
The Boss
Sons of Bill
Turchi
Dr. John
John Henry and The Engine
Thank you for supporting real musicians, who are willing to put it out there for the sake of their art, thanks for being a listener to a show that's willing to play these folks with no advertising, no commercials and no sponsors. The show is also now available on iTunes as a free podcast, or as a free subscription. Remember that ratings and comments get consideration for suggestions for upcoming playlists or show themes.

Desolation Angel Radio March 29th

Thursday's broadcast was a total technical clusterf*ck, but it is preserved here in podcast form for your downloading, streaming, listening pleasure. Remember that Desolation Angel Radio is available in iTunes as well, for free, for downloading single episodes or subscription. Thanks for being a listener and supporter of raw, pure, true, authentic, down to the bone music.
If you wondered where the Angel stands on how things are, on the state of the world, you won't wonder anymore after this one. A special two hour broadcast with some rules; every artist or band here has to be alive, living and breathing in the here and now and performing out on the road, and looking out at the world and making observations on what's happening right now, in the here and now. It's time to leave the past in the past, and let the dry bones of the dead rest. Music is alive, vital, real and so are these folks. This week: Aaron Williams & The Hoodoo, Kara Clark, Thomas Wynn & The Believers, Shooter Jennings, Justin Townes Earle, Steve Earle, Alison Lewis, Doop & The Inside Outlaws, Orbo & The Longshots, Carter Falco, Seth Adam, Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder, Todd Snider, Sons of Bill and tons more.
Remember something and remember it well: When your back's against the wall, it's an ideal position. There's nowhere left to turn, and you are forced to face it.
Keep the Faith
