Routes and Branches Play List 03/17/12

This week I am so excited about The Drive By Truckers paying a visit to our lovely rain soaked Northwest. Their three guitar attack takes me right back to Georgia and the days of my youth with all of its great music. I grew up with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Having moved to Oregon in the late '80s I never experienced a DBT show until 4 years ago in Portland. They just weren't on my musical radar. The house was packed and DBT put on a show I will never forget. Drive By Truckers tell tales of real life (in the South or not)with a gritty determination that can only be found with three screaming guitars trading leads. We love that Southern Rock!!!

3)Beth Wood - The Weather Inside
4)The Little Willies - For The Good Times
5)Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer - Little Blue Egg

The new Lyle Lovett CD "Release Me" just landed in my hands yesterday and the couple of tunes I have listened to I really liked. And I picked up Chuck Prophet's latest "Temple Beautiful" just last weekend at his show here in Eugene. I'm sure that both of these releases will find a spot in my list of this month's top favorites.

My show today was just a sampling of the music perform on the recent Cayamo Cruise that my wife and I went on this month. My thanks go out to all the artists who performed onboard this year and to the Sixthman staff for putting on a wonderful week of Music, Sun and Fun. Thank you to Chuck Cannon, Levy Lowry and Buddy Miller for lending their voice to promote my show.

As a special feature of this Cayamo tribute, I asked 3 time Cayamo Artist and a local Eugene musician, Beth Wood to stop by the station and play a couple of her latest tunes live on the air. It was a lot of fun to talk with her about Cayamo and her new CD "The Weather Inside". You can find more about Beth and her music at http://www.bethwoodmusic.com
Thanks Beth, for coming by and making my Cayamo recap really special.

It was good to be back in the studio today after being away for a couple of weeks. I must say that it is easier and much more rewarding to do a pledge drive show in person than it is to record it a week earlier. We are closing in on our goal for our Winter Membership drive this weekend and I want to thank all of the listeners who called in their support during Routes and Branches this afternoon.
Today's show was a mix of Grammy Winners, Cayamo buddies and a few other songs that I have been wanting to play.
