Popular with the texters tonight. Must have been that old Randy Travis tune. Or Metallica covering Skynyrd.

"Sweetheart" by Steve Abel is a standout. Bernie Griffen had it in his head in his last week. Along with his own song "Drowning".

New Willy Tea Taylor track, brand newly discovered Olivia Ellen Lloyd, dredging up some BoDeans after hearing it on the soundtrack to The Bear, Magic Factory, Skynyrd and discovering that 'Someday' off Neil Young's Freedom is actually a pretty shit song. Sounds better in my head than on the radio. Townes and Drive By Truckers make up for it though and a killer, KILLER version of Carmelita by Jason Molina.

Back in the saddle after losing the sheriff. Kirsten plays Bernie's music and the playlist from the celebration of Bernie's life, it was a huge event.

Got some blues for ya, some great local tunes off the system and handful from the 95bFM vinyl library. Very pleased with how the 'no power to the laptop' situation was handled and discovered perhaps the worst thing joe strummer ever did. you be the judge.

I let Sinead's passing have an effect on the show cos it affected me and I thought it'd sound good. Loretta Lynn, Joan Baez, Hurray for The Riff Raff, Dylan, Eilen Jewel, Allison Russel, Drive by Truckers and more all telling it like it is. Interview with Julian Temple and a bunch of finds out of the bFM vinyl library (Bodeans from the 1980's!) in between and then a strong finish for Ms O'Connor with the Dropkick Murphies and the song Kris Kristofferson wrote for her. What a loss.

Letting the new Magic Factory album weave it's influence over the show.
