Eclectic Mainline 29th June 2011

I’ve got no idea where the image for this Samiyam Youtube clip came from, but it is intruiging.  Sam Baker’s Album really is great, and I could literally have played any track from it tonight.

Thanks to all my listeners tonight, it was a pleasure to have your company! :)  You can, if you so desire, listen again to the show for up to 4 weeks.  Here’s what I played:

Time to Put a Little Rock in Your Sock – 26th June 2011

This programme starts with one of the loveliest tunes in rock / blues music – live with 4 tubas – Taj Mahal’s Ain’t Gwine Whistle Dixie Any Mo – and he introduces it himself in 1971 from the Filmore east. Then a Brazilian singing about tramps – from Bahia – Daniella Mercury and three songs from my favourite Colombian – Shakira from three times in her life – one with dark hair and two as a blond. A typical Crossroads mix is next – the Cramps, some Englisha regaae 2 Mexicans, some blues from the legendary Lurrie Bell and a track with both kinds of music to finish Country and Western (swing). I hope you liked it and don’t forget the listen again / pod cast through the BCB website.

Peruvian God

Taj Mahal – Ain’t Gwine Whistle Dixie Any Mo
Daniela Mercury – Nobre vagabundo
Shakira – Donde estan los ladrones
– Underneath your clothes
– Don’t bother
The Cramps – Muleskinner blues
Kevin Coyne – Eastbourne ladies
Peter Tosh – Stepping razor
Robbie Robertson – Fear of falling
Rodrigo y Gabriela – Diablo rojo
Lurrie Bell – One day
Lyle Lovett – That’s right you’re not from Texas
