A Little Bit Country – 31 May 2009

0

Today’s show featured Eilen Jewell’s new album ‘Sea of Tears’ and Teddy Thompson’s Upfront and Down Low. I’ve been a fan since I heard his version of King of the Road sung with Rufus Wainright and then heard him belt out a beautiful rendition of the Leonard Cohen song “Tonight will be Fine”. Eilen Jewell’s music is kinda country swing and rockabililly. I love her voice and different style. So in there as well were some old tracks of Chris Isaak who fits with alternative country and Dwight Yoakam too. All great singers with modern day crooner voices. And I ended with Neil Murray singing Coolamon Moon becasue he was here in Alice Springs the other night – a very short notice gig at Olive Pink Botanic Gardens and Sammy Butcher came late and played guitar alongside him. Old mates from their days in the Warumpi Band from Papunya. A great night of dancing in the dust!
