Border Radio with Bernie Griffen, Paul Taylor

Had some fun with a show full of covers and standards. So you've got your classic In The Pines, Knoxville Girls, Oh Susanna's and Long Black Veils as well as Townes doing Bruce, Joe Strummer doing Bob Marley, Johnny Cash doing Soundgarden, Shovels and Rope doing the Ramones and a lady called Katy Melua doing The Cure's Just Like Heaven so beautifully that people were fizzing on the phone line. Tuck in and enjoy.

Tonight every song is person's name. Kinda fun. So you've got Jolene and Misty & Jimmy, Billy Austin, Big Chief Hightower,  Doctor Brown Rosie Mae, Sara & Rocky Racoon in the mix, by the likes of The Little Willies, The Eastern, James McMurtry, Lightning Hopkins, The Stray Cats, Some Dark Holler, Fleetwood Mac, 6 Day Bender, Neil Young, Greg Brown, Magic Factory, The Beatles and more.

The America's Cover Bob Dylan plus Billie Holliday and Ray Wylie Hubbard

Deputy Paul In the house with a quick slither around deep down in the blues hole. Muddy, John Lee, WIllie Dixon, Robert Johnson, Otis Spann and a couple more before we wriggle out and come back above ground to get into a tonne of new tunes. A bandcamp raid looking for nice hats and cool names turns up some doozies. The Swearengens, Tori Forsythe, Sierra Ferrell, Jackie Stranger, 4 Gun Ridge and Elliot Pearson & The Passing Lane. A sprinkling oif Emily Fairlight, SarahShook & The Disarmers and Mary Elaine Jenkins and Marlon Williams to close it all off. Plus more of course.
