First half of our show today is dedicated to the ladies. Jolie Holland was in The Be Good Tanyas and Kelley Mickwee was with Trishas and now they have very strong solo records. Mitski put her record out as well. Pieta Brown also has a new record out and we pay attention. On the other side, Billy Childish formed a new band called CTMF and Steve Wynn put out the record formed out of his recordings ten years ago in Spain.
Today we say the last goodbyes to Kevin Ayers of Soft Machine and Tony Sheridan who sang with The Beatles back in their Hamburg days. The two rockers passed away recently. We also have some new stuff. We have new music for the Austinites Kelly Willis and her husband Bruce Robison and our good friend Kim Simpson. They all have new records out. Billy Childish has recently put out a record with his Spartan Drags, and that opens out new show. Donovan put out a record that he started making in 1970 with John Phillips and The Jazz Crusaders. Mikal Cronin has a new single out. We also have Freedy Johnston from his recent gig in Cleveland and one new name: Colleen Green from Oakland CA.
Very fresh show today at The Little Lighthouse! We have the new Billy Childish project The Chatham Singers which he founded together with his wife Julie. We also have new album for Neal Casal, Roots and Wings. Madeleine Peyroux, our favorite Billie Holiday sound-alike is also back with her third album so far Bare Bones. Detroit band Outrageous Cherry announced the new album with a fantastic mp3 single Get Out While You Can. Italian band Afterhours came up with a new album last year, but I just discovered it recently – so we check that out. The new LP is called I Milanesi Ammazzano Il Sabato. And we finish our new album list for this show with Black Lips’ 200 Million Thousand. Also, I played some songs by Cleveland Bill fox who I saw live last week and who blew me away with his talented performance.
