Border Radio with Paul Taylor, Kirsten Warner & Louie Jarlov

A couple of hours of songs on or around the subject of war, given what's in the headlines. Folk and country and blues singers been writing these for a long time...

A whiter shade of pale translated into American by Dan Reeder. Kinda defines my attitude this sunday. Varius obscure covers of Bob Dylans songs by Laura Marling , The Handsome Family, Shelby Lynne and Alison Moorer ..... Takes my breath away. Favourite song tonight ? weeeeel Ric Danko from 1977 ' Sip The Wine".

Border radio hand picking gems from all along the American Music timeline. From dodgy 70's Doobie Brothers attempt at folky CSNY vibes through to the beautiful brand new track from Sierra Ferrel, and newly discovered treats like Sunny War. As well as Neil, Skynyrd and Drive By Truckers.

Sometimes i'm stumbling around in the dark , looking for new artists , it might seem all the old people are dead !  Usually this leads me to a list of new people who get me excited again. Listen in , find the ones you like on the net or Spotify and off we go again. Big Boy Crudup does a fine job of closing the show by shaming Elvis with his version of "Thats Alright Mama" right at the birth of Rock and Roll.
