Playlist for Thursday March 26th 2009

Our newest blues DJ Gregory Satori made his solo debut this morning, and despite a few computer complications he put together a great blues show. According to Gregory he had about 10-12 phone calls from well-wishes and 1 guy that called twice to complain about Gregory’s polished commercial sound. Overall this morning’s show was uplifting and entertaining from start to finish. I enjoyed sharing music from a new CD that I think is just fantastic. Honestly I had never heard of Eric Lindell, but he’s recorded 3 CD’s with Alligator records and has 8 total recordings since 1996. His newest release “Gulf Coast Highway” is a pure delight. Eric’s vocal style is similar to Delbert McClinton, the songs are well crafted, tightly arranged, superbly played and highly entertaining. Gulf Coast Highway is a great CD filled with lots of catchy (but rather short) songs that should appeal to a wide audience. Tune in next week for more from the two headed monster.

Play List for Thursday March 19th 2009

This morning’s show was split between myself and a new DJ in training Gregory Satori. Gregory has an extensive background in radio and he is already becoming a huge asset to KRVM. His enthusiasm and positive attitude is contagious and he will no doubt win our listeners over. My 1 hour portion of the show zipped by with some choice tunes by Volker Stifler, Ronnie Earl, and Toni Lynn Washington just to name a few. I played two songs from a brand new CD from Too Slim and the Taildraggers. I took the CD home to give it a thorough revue and I think it’s another well crafted solid effort from one of the true guitar greats of the pacific northwest. This CD is filled with lots of good new original tunes. I played two of my favorites with the title track “Free your Mind” and “Testament” which is a song with a cool Neil Young feel to it. Tim Langford is one of those unique guitar players that just keeps evolving with one cool style after another, and this CD is filled with great guitar riffs and powerful songs. Gregory added his fine play list to the mix and together we formed one very good Thursday morning Breakfast with the Blues show. The plan is to do one more joined effort and then cut him loose with his first very own show on Thursday April 2nd.Be sure to tune in for that!
