Found a barbeque cookout and hoe down on instagram that robert earle keen was playing at in Temple, Texas . They would have been kicking on after the day as we went to air - so I got a few names off the poster and shared them with y'all...

The new protest song from Neil Young, "Big Crime", it's angry and right on and we can't wait till we get a proper mix of it so we can hear all the words - it was recorded at a soundcheck in Chicago but released by Neil Young. Interesting New Zealand music too in the show. Gil Landry is a current favourite.

Super fun show with great friend Tony Daunt in the studio to play a few songs and have a chin wag. Yehaw! 

It's two years since host Bernie Griffen passed on to that big radio show in the sky. His sister Angela Griffen is in the studio with his partner host Kirsten Warner to play some tunes he would have loved or inspired by him. It was lots of fun with a few tears.

Starts with Neil as always, then off we go all over the place.

Fun show with a special live performance from the Timbertops. Get your ears on it! 

Lots of new releases and a Cowboy Junkies double concert pass giveaway.

Neil. Skynyrd. Another one from the new James McMurtry, Loretta Lynn, Tami. New stuff. Old stuff. It's all good stuff.

It's Sunday, this is my church, the first 10 songs are the gospel touched by God! NB God induced a minute or so silence before the show starts! But wait for it, great show follows.

3 tracks off the new James McMurtry and a bunch more brand new stuff amongst the traditional favorites.

Spinning some Aussie tunes I've been digging and heaps of other good stuff too. 

More great New Zealand music after New Zealand music month, plus new releases and great songs. What's not to love?

A few newies and the old familiar tunes and the traditional techincal hitch with full laptop shutdown ! Twice ! See how it was handled.  

New Zealand Music month and a crisp package of local goodies.

Played "Red Flags" by Fly My Pretties and Taylah which is a great fit for Border Radio alongside the great blues women and men.  Boom Boom always works.

All Vinyl. No ads.

Fun show with heaps of new releases. Giddyup! 

The whole show was such great music, one person pulled in to a layby beside the Waikato River to listen and send a txt of thanks! Standout tracks included "Please Come On Inside" by Madeleine Peyroux, "The Dust" from The Kearns Family, "Spirits" from The Devil Makes Three and "Colours" from Black Pumas. 

Playing songs with names in the title! Heaps of good times.

Combo of; the Irish bandwagon post Fontaines DC pre St Patricks day and a fossick down in the blues hole. Including some Irish blues. yippe yi ay fiddly doo.

Celebrating greeat women artists for International Women's Day.

Kirsten's guest is music specialist and writer Garth Cartwright, for a deep dive into the Black music that formed Elvis.

13 + minutes of the CSNY live version of Southern Man to start the show and then a bunch of new, old & medium tunes.

Guest Kingsley Spargo plays live in the studio. The show starts with Lefty Frizzell and ends with a bracket of soul music.

Playing some tunes from artists appearing at the Auckland Folk Festival next weekend. And special guest Otis Mace plays two songs live in the studio.

Kirsten's in the studio. Starting with "Hold On, I'm Coming" a farewell to Sam Moore from Sam & Dave who died this week aged 89.

Back in the saddle for the new year. 

Just one Christmas song, James Brown "Santa Claus Go Straight To the Ghetto", from a Christmas album he did in 1968 called "A Soulful Christmas". That's my offering for the silly season, otherwise it's always the season for great roots music. A bit of a technical blue to start with - heck what's new? But after that it was plain sailing.
