Classic blues women Odetta, Big Mama Thornton and Sister Rosetta Tharpe alongside new folk, new releases, Nick Cave's "Conversion" and hiphop meets bluegrass in Gangstagrass, "radical desegregation of roots music".
Today ony your bFM Breakfast: It's officially hayfever season folks; Harry Josephine Giles pops into the studio to chat about their play Drone, and other exciting projects, all the way from Scotland; Kiran brings in a real personal fave of hers this week; and of course, special mention to the Bird of the Year, the Hoiho. Aww.
Blind Mango Chutney eases us in with some laidback Paul Desmond and finishes with the innovative pianist Joanne Brackeen. In between he has guitarist Alex Pipes in the studio to introduce us to his album "Square One", plus a bunch of other cool jazz, of course.
This week was a special one - We had Mary Lattimore & Julianna Barwick up for My Morning Mixtape ahead of their double headliner show tomorrow night with Roy Montgomery. We revisited live songs from Yuck at Laneway 2012 and played a ton of new songs including ones from Stef Chura, Sampa The Great & Flying Lotus.
