Routes and Branches Play List 01/31/09

I started today's show with Lucinda Williams who is on top of the Americana Charts and her career. Her album "Little Honey" has a lot of great music. Let's hope She gets out to the west coast after her Australian Tour in April.

I pulled a double shift this week filling in for Carol on Acoustic Junction. Having some extra time let me stretch out and cover more of the upcoming local music scene. We have a lot of great artists playing around town in February.

See you on the radio, Tim.

It felt good to get back on the air after taking last week off to visit family. My thanks go out to Scott Majors for sitting in for me.
Now that we are a few weeks into the new year the new music is beginning to come in again. I really like the new Derek Trucks Band CD "Already Free" and Jorma Kaukonen's new disc "River Of Time". Other new music featured this week were Donna Ulisse, Mark Olson & Gary Louris (from the Jayhawks),Bucky Halker, Otis Gibbs, Andy Friedman, Nancy Cassidy and Stephanie Chapman.

Routes and Branches Play List 01/10/09

Last week I played I played my favorite cuts from 2008 so, this week I decided to pull more cuts out of my over a year old box. There is so much good new music to play on this show that I forget about some of the older stuff that is also really good.
I did include a few new tracks including a couple from The Reverend Payton's Big Damn Band who will be performing at the WOW hall this next week. This is roots music at it's best. For a 3 piece family band they have a Big Damn sound.
I also gave a Happy Birthday salute to Alejandro Escovedo who turned 58 today with his song "People".

Routes and Branches Play List 01/03/09

Happy New Year
This week marks my one year anniversary with KRVM. I feel so fortunate that I get program great Americana music on the radio every week.
This past year has introduced me to more new music than ever. It was hard to narrow down Today's show of my top 20 favorite songs from 2008. It is a mix of some long time favorites like Willie Nelson and John Hiat along with new to me artists like The Mother Truckers and the Drive By Truckers.
I am looking forward to bringing you, our listeners and supporters, another year of new and interesting Americana, Roots music and Alt. Country. If you have any suggestions for guest artists or music on Routes & Branches, just leave me a note on this site.
See you on the radio.
Tim
