Border Radio with Bernie Griffen, Paul Taylor & Kirsten Warner

So I caught the last hour of record store day and scored a Dolly Parton album and the soundtrack to the the Jim Jarmusch movie Dead Man, so I built the radio show around them. It was pretty fun. Dolly, Neil, movie music, noisy guitars, lovely female vocals, dark gothic themes and hooning tunes including Darcy Clay's cover of you know what. 

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.

An evening of music from the American road . Also i interviewed Brendan and Alison Turner on the eve of their first album release. They have a release show at the Wine Cellar this Saturday 29th March. I also got a call from L'il Chuck the one-man skiffle machine who is from Christchurch and is heading North to play the Wine Cellar 28th March..... get along and support our local talent is all i can say!!!!!!!
