Routes and Branches Play List 06/25/11

The summer music season is upon us so most of today's show featured some of the artists who will be playing in Oregon this next month along with a couple of new releases which I had to play.

The first new release featured this week was David Bromberg's new album called "Use Me" in which he not only asked other artists to write him a song to play but then to also produce the track. With artists from John Hiatt, Tim O'Brien and Keb' Mo' to Los Lobos, Vince Gill and Widespread Panic "Use Me" shows off Bromberg's versatility and adaptability to other people's music.

My second featured new release was Neil Young's latest "A Treasure" which is an archive release of his time playing with the International Harvesters in the 1980's. I think this was one of the best bands that Young ever played with. I was fortunate enough to see them perform live in Atlanta, GA. before I moved to Oregon. If you want to find out more information about this album go to neilyoung.com and he will tell you all about it in a video on his opening page.

My final featured release this week is Dave Alvin's latest "Eleven Eleven". Some of the tunes take me back to his "Ashgrove" album like "Harlan County Line" and "Black Rose Of Texas", while his duets with his brother and former band mates Chris Gaffney and Christy McWilson reflect more of the sound that they contributed to Dave's songs and the band.

All three albums are sure to make it onto this year's favorites list which is already getting a fair number of albums and we're only half way through the year. You gotta love good music.

Routes and Branches Play List 06/04/11

Saturday was the first day this year that felt like summer was on it's way so I started the show with the song "Summertime" done by Jerry Garcia, David Grissman and Tony Rice. It is a lovely version full of improvisation.

The Water Tower Bucket Boys stopped by the studio and played a couple of tunes from their latest album "Sole Kitchen". I really appreciate young musicians like the Water Tower Bucket Boys taking traditional styles of music and making it their own. "Sole Kitchen" is their first album of all original music created equally among the band members. After seeing their show at the WOW Hall last night I think The Water Tower Bucket Boys are ready to make a career out of being a band. Good Luck guys.
