In the spring of 1941, Woody Guthrie came to Portland for a one-month job. He was hired by the Bonneville Power Administration to write songs extolling the virtues of dams, irrigated land and federally subsidized hydropower. He ended up giving the government 26 songs in 30 days. Greg Vandy's 2016 book about the project is titled “26 Songs in 30 Days: Woody Guthrie's Columbia River Songs and the Planned Promised Land in the Pacific Northwest.”

EDITOR'S NOTE: Recent allegations have emerged against numerous artists on Burger Records, including Black Lips who are featured in this mix. The behavior survivors are alleging in recent days relating to bands in the Burger Records orbit is horrifying and reprehensible. We join many others in the community calling for accountability and reckoning within an industry that too often allows this type of behavior to be tolerated and ignored. KEXP has provided coverage and airplay for many of the artists named in the allegations, over many years. When allegations like these surface, we start from a position of believing victims and survivors, we attempt to learn more, and we take immediate appropriate action until the issue has been resolved, if it is. We're also making sure our DJs are aware of the allegations, and will be communicating with them to make sure they continue to follow the story. We will also be following this story through our own editorial coverage.  For more information on how you can support sexual assault survivors or if you need support yourself, visit RAINN.org.

When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in the summer of 2015 to stunned acclaim, it felt like an entire career compressed into one knock-out album. Hailed as a “ming-blowingly good” (Greg Vandy, KEXP) “tutorial on classic country music” (Popmatters), Pinnell's debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. His 2017 album Ties of Blood and Affection presents a canny lateral move.  Instead of doubling down on the stark themes and values of his debut, this sophomore album finds Pinnell finding comfort in his own skin and achieving the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs.  Here Pinnell joyfully embraces the working life, family obligations, and faith. Recorded July 2018 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Eagle Harbor Books on International Workers' Day - May 1st at 3pm - for a tribute to iconic folk musician Woody Guthrie. Seattle KEXP music radio DJ Greg Vandy will talk with Seattle Symphony bassist Jonathan Green about Vandy's new book, "26 Songs in 30 Days". It's the story of Woody Guthrie's songs to honor the hydroelectric and irrigation projects of the Northwest's largest river system, the Columbia, and the heroic workers and visions that transformed our region in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1941, Woody Guthrie wrote 26 songs in 30 days -- including classics like "Roll On Columbia" and "Pastures of Plenty" -- when he was hired by the Bonneville Power Administration to put to song the benefits of affordable hydroelectric power, irrigation, and the building of the massive Grand Coulee Dam. Today, Bonneville is still the northwest's main provider of low-cost, clean and renewable power, as was mentioned in a recent BCB podcast about the Island Power movement currently active on Bainbridge Island. "26 Songs In 30 Days" plunges deeply into the historical context of the transformative vision and the progressive politics that embraced social democracy during an era that led America out of the severe suffering of the Great Depression. For further information about Greg Vandy and events to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of Guthrie's songwriting about the Columbia, see Greg's website at http://www.americanstandardtime.com/about/greg-vandy/ Credits: BCB host, audio editor and social media publisher: Barry Peters
