Richard Grayson

Great start to the show and I’m really glad you do this thing! I wonder if one of these might be appropriate for the show. “The Trumpet Child” by Over the Rhine from the album of the same name or maybe “Blue” by Verve from A Storm In Heaven.

  I will check em out, and unless there is a problem, you got it !

Great show Paul. For next week, how about:

“Mary” by Spirtualized
“Belle” by Alif Tree

or

“Warrior Man” by Dr. Dog

Either of those would be good choices.

Thnx for the great show as always.

I saw Junior Brown and Guy Forsyth at the Kessler Friday. I took my 12yr-old son and his friend. We all enjoyed it very much. Junior Brown is a musician’s musician and absolutely amazing on the guit-steel. Tearing picks apart on that thing. I found one that’s short enough to fit and still loaded with a bit of fancy fretwork.

Diggin’ the T-Rex “Jeepster!” One that I really liked by them was “Elemental Child,” but, that’s for another show..

  great thanks, and yes, another show, probably the next one !

Chris Whitley Reiter Inn off of the Album Reiter Inn
- Anonymous
  
  I will give it a listen thanks
  - Jerem69
    
    Yes, Please! Reiter in was pretty much his last work. I gather that it loosely translates to an equivalent of “ghost in the machine.” I saw Chris just three weeks before his passing and he spoke of Reiter In. He said it was in reality an informal jam session with tape machines running. Of course, I have it on vinyl too.
    Here is a digital version: http://www.amazon.com/Reiter-In/dp/B000QQYK0O/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335753014&sr=301-1

Great show – always interesting.
A few suggestions: Paul Thorn – anything he does is good but I especially like listening to him play acoustic guitar and sing.
Daniel Market – a singer / songwriter from Indiana. He has a talent for crafting some very personal and emotional songs. One of his albums is available on Amazon but I do have most of his albums if you are interested.
