This was the first weekend of our annual Spring Membership drive at KRVM.

I want to thank all of the listeners who called in and made their contribution to KRVM. Listener support is what makes the music happen on KRVM.

Routes and Branches Play List 03/20/10

For the first day of spring I played a whole show of recently released material with one exception, a Townes Van Zandt tune at the end of a set of songs which were either about Townes or that he had a part in the writing. The most unusual of these was the David Broza tune which was an unpublished Townes poem put to music by David. David and Townes played together once at a song pull hosted by Linda Lowe back in 1994 and everyone including Townes' family were surprised that he left Broza a bunch of unpublished poetry. Long story short, Broza has now released a new album Night Dawn of 11 tunes based on Townes poetry and one instrumental which he wrote in Townes honor called "Too Old To Die Young". You can find the entire story at: http://nightdawn.davidbroza.net/.

Also featured on today's show was the disc East Nashville Vol.3 More Music From The Other Side. It is a disc of various artists who come from Nashville's lesser known east side and have recorded with Red Beet Records. of the 19 tracks on the disc I found over half of them to be really good tunes performed by artists that I had never heard of before.

I ended my show with a couple of tracks from the disc Coal Country Music. Coal mining is still a major industry in Appalachia and the CD is a companion to the film Coal Country, which documents the devastation wrought by mountaintop removal and the cycle of coal mining and combustion. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the CD go to the Alliance for Appalachia to STOP MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL. You can go to http://www.coalcountrymusic.com/ to find out more about the film and CD.

Routes and Branches Play List 03/13/10

I had a schedule conflict this week between my radio show and our local spring home improvement show which I attend for my business. So this week's radio show was put together and canned from the music files on our station's computer. Fortunately many of the artists that I like to play on Routes & Branches also show up in our weekday music mix.

I'm still catching up on all of the new CDs that have come into the station while I was on vacation. Next week I will have a whole crop of new releases to play for you.

Routes and Branches Play List 03/06/10

I want to thank Shotgun Majors for sitting in for me while I was gone.
I have recently returned from Cayamo 2010 and I must say that it has to be one of my favorite vacations ever. Cayamo was a music festival cruise with artists like Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, and Brandie Calile for the headliners along with several other artists and bands to fill out the schedule. We saw over 25 shows in the 5 days we were on board.
Every artist on today's play list except Ryan Bingham and Hot Buttered Rum were on the cruise. I opened the show with Ryan Bingham's The Weary Kind since he is up for the Oscar with it this weekend. He certainly gets my vote. I played the Hot Buttered Rum cut because I was giving tickets away to their upcoming show next weekend at the WOW hall.
