Border Radio with Bernie Griffen, Paul Taylor

From 1970 - 2019, Papakura to Arizona. Classics and brand new tunes from right next door and far away. A handful of tunes off Kendall Elise's brand new 'Red Earth'. Also featuring our new buddies in Phoenix, The Felons and Shadowcaster.  Classic Neil Young, brand new Delaney Davidson and Barry Saunders, Norah Jones doing Hank Williams, Miley Cyrus doing Dolly, desert psych from Dirtwire, a little darkness from The Walking Dead Soundtrack and even some surprises from Voom and Talking Heads. Because we can.

Totally fizzing tonight over the new Delaney Davidson & Barry Saunders album - so there's a few tracks off that. Some brand new tunes from bands discovered on a heartland america gig poster, Johnny Mile & The Kilometres and Joshua Reilly & The Corn Fed locals. Vintage Willie, vintage Neil and some fruity 1970's jams. Marlon live in the bFM lounge. Tex Pistol covers Tiahape's finest; Daggy & The Dickheads and heaps more. Especially Delaney & Barry.

Can you take away "no good cheatin'", "killed my baby down by the river", "all the farm stock have died", "I lost my job so I'm cooking meth, now I lost everything else too" and the similar themes and still have a two hour Border Radio show worth having? Is it OK to not be sad? This experiment features Jerry Jeff Walker, Neil Young, Dori Freeman, Jenny Don't and The Spurs, Natural Child, New Riders Of The Purple Sage, Magic Factory, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, and even Townes Van Zandt as well as many more. Did it work ? You be the judge.
