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.
First show of 2026, a New Year's resolution to play a track from Tim Buckley's "Greetings From L.A." every show, it's a great album from 1972 not to be forgotten. It leads neatly to a set from women blues singers 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

Broadcasting from northern Mexico with enough power to blanket a continent, border radio broke every rule and changed music forever. In this episode, I dive into the wild signals that carried country, blues, and rock 'n' roll across the night sky.

A show where Deputy Paul goes completely nuts over Lachie Hayes. The Southland boy with huge tunes, big chops and a vibe. A must-be-heard Aotearoa artist - so excited to share. New favorites all round. Thanks to Studio 1 Vintage Guitars

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