Deputy Louis' first show of the year. Spinning lots of new wax scavenged over the break. As always a huge thanks to Studio 1 Vintage Guitars for their support.

First show of yearcomes with a resolution to play a track from Tim Buckley's 1972 album "Greetings From L.A." every show. Which leads neatly to a set from women in blues singing songs about sex. Shaking the reins for 2026.

Tis the week before Xmas and nothing silly-season on Border Radio. It's business as usual for the mighty deputy team playing American roots music. Standout was bringing back Tim Buckley with "Get On Top" from 1972, if you want a dancing album over Xmas get down with "Greetings From L.A."

Deputy Louis was out on the range so Deputy Paul covers.

With guests Otis Mace and John Segovia playing live - both ace players but there was a technical hitch at beginning of their interview and first song - no sound but they repeat the song when the mics are turned on! Please persevere or skip ahead a few minutes and they're there! Sorry guys. Otherwise great performance and the rest is great music.

All three deputies broadcasting live from Studio 1 Guitars! Fantastic live performances from Fables and Moongoose. A huge thank you to Studio 1 Vintage Guitars for hosting us and their continued support of our show. Yeehaw!

Louis takes a deep dive into a mind blowing year of music with all tracks from 1975. Thanks to Studio 1 Vintage Guitars

Special guest tonight is friend and sponsor of Border Radio, Garrick Wynne from Studio 1 Vintage Guitars who plays some favourites tracks.

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...

Fathers Day special! Louis takes requests for all the dads out there and spins some of his favourites. Thanks to Studio 1 Vintage Guitars

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.
