I first of all want to thank all of the listeners who contributed to KRVM during our recent pledge drive. You, truly are the people who keep this great community resource playing the music we all love to hear. Thank You!!!
Last week I ended my show playing a portion of Kind of Bird due to the fact that the song is 18 minuets long and I only had five left in the show. So, this week, after hearing it performed live last Thursday evening, I decided to start my show with it and let the whole track play. Something that is only found on listener supported radio like KRVM.
Doug Seegers performed in Portland last night after my radio show so I was featuring several tracks from his album Going Down To The River. After hearing him live I must say that he is the closest performer to sound like Hank Williams that I have ever seen. It was an enjoyable evening of country music performed as it should be. Barbara Lamb was excellent on the fiddle with just the right accent to Doug's guitar and voice, giving every song the right amount of swing.

I want to thank all of the listeners who called in this afternoon with their support for KRVM and especially Routes & Branches. Listener support is what keeps KRVM on the air. If you appreciate community radio like KRVM please help us continue to play the music you love by going to: http://www.krvm.org/ and clicking the "Pledge Now" button.

I recently had a chance to talk with one of my guitar heroes Warren Haynes. Haynes will be in Eugene this next week with his band Gov't Mule and John Scofield. They are touring behind the new Sco-Mule album which was recorded 20 years ago with the original Gov't Mule line-up of Haynes, Woody and Abts. Naturally this album is more jazz oriented than other Mule albums with the influences that Scofield brings to the group.
Although I am a fan of Gov't Mule no matter what music they play, I am most found of Haynes work the Allman Brother's band and Phil Lesh & Friends. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that he got his start playing in David Allen Coe's band back in the '80s.
Also part of today's show I played Rosanne Cash's Grammy wining song,  A Feather's Not A Bird off her Grammy wining album The River & The Thread  and Old Crow Medicine Show's album Remedy which picked up the Grammy for Best Folk album. The Blackberry Bushes  and The Mastersons will both be in Eugene this week so I played them as well.
