| Rachid Taha - Barra Barra. I first heard this on the Saturday Programme - 3rd of March 2007. Didn't know it was used on the film Blackhawk Down until this week. Can't stop playing this track at the moment. |

| This week I have rediscovered the Steve Forbert album Mission Of The Crossroad Palms from 1995. Can't stop playing the opening track 'It Sure Was Better Back Then'. Now listening to the Bobby Blue Bland track 'Aint No Love In The Heart Of The City' from the 1974 album Dreamer. Great stuff. |

Even though Washington Square Serenade has had a good few plays this week I've dug out the Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures cd's and given Volume 1 a good hammering. I REALLY CAN'T STOP PLAYIN
Jimmy Halliday - The Turning Point and Irma Thomas - Anyone Who Knows What Love Is. I love it. What a great series of cd's these are.
LES - that Mari Boine track you posted is really getting to me.
As I scribe this note playin Blue Rodeo - Hasn't Hit Me Yet.

| CAN'T STOP PLAYIN the title track of the Dion album Born To Be With You from 1975 (2 on 1 cd package with the album Streetheart from 1976). Ace CDCHD 793). Not his greatest album, but maybe his greatest track. |

Talking of Steve Forbert as you were in one of your posts.
Can anyone shed a light a song of his which contains the lyrics which go something like.......
' Everything has gone American....'
Cheers. |

Malcs - you've got me there son. Could you be thinking of
'As I guess it's just the American in me'?
Part of the chorus in the title track of The American In Me.
I could be way out though. |

Thanks thelew.
Might be the one.
Have a habit of recalling a distant memory of a song and then finding out I've got the wrong artist. |

After listening to the quite excellent John Fogerty album Revival I've gone back to play his 1975 album John Fogerty (on Fantasy F526).
'Rocking All Over The World' and 'Almost Saturday Night' 2 great tracks from it. Can't say that I've seen this album out on CD but I know these tracks are available on The Long Road Home,The Ultimate John Fogerty/Creedance Collection. Creedance were a great band. |

| Did John Fogerty play all instruments on that 1975 album? I'm sure that I read a review years ago saying that he did. There's no information at all on the album sleeve. |

| I'm just burning a copy of the Bert Bacharach Collection - The Look Of Love for a friend. A HIDDEN GEM. Tommy Hunt - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, from 1962, later to be a big hit for Dusty Springfield. Excellent stuff. |

| The Lightnin'Hopkins - Texas Tornado box set looks well worth a buy, 4cd's for £14.47 on the Proper label from Amazon. You can't go wrong buying any of the box sets Proper or JSP issue and I've bought a number of them over the years. I don't seem to have that Merry Christmas track and I thought I had virtually everything Lightnin' had recorded, so I'll probabably have to buy this one again. |

I'm not into it in a big way but I do like to listen to the Real World stuff now and again and I will find the occasional track that sticks in my head. Uncle Bob has played some very nice tracks from this label over the last few weeks. Check out the compilation cd 'Voices Of The Real World'(borrowed from my local library last week) for the track by Yungchen Lhamo - Happiness Is... Nice one.

Tonight by Last Train Home off their wonderful new live dvd - shot on home turf at IOTA.
The camerawork is shaky but the music rocks a really tight band with ex jayhawk Jen Gunderman lending a hand.
Highly recommended - includes a blistering version of Pete Rowans - Walls of Time. |

| CHRISLEE - Last Train Home sound well worth a listen after checking out some of their web site samples. This band also appear in the Karen Miller top 10 of the year (recently posted on this site) so they must be worth checking out. I really do love some of the Jayhawks stuff. BIG P.S. My son is going to buy the Kendel Carson cd because of the 'I Like Trucks' track played on last nights Bob Show. There is hope for the youngster yet. NICE ONE CHRIS. |

| I have a vinyl copy of An Alternative History of The Marmalade, Kaleidoscope. It's a 1000 off limited edition and I have number 567 (Published in 1999 on Tenth Planet TP044). SO WHAT, I here you all think. There's a HIDDEN GEM on it that's wot. I See The Rain is the track.'This single fell flat on it's face in Britain despite being described in the Melody Maker by Jimi Hendrix as his favourite single of 1967'. This track is well worth a listen amongst some dodgy stuff. Also available on the double cd Reflections of The Marmalade The Anthology (CMEDD 281 Sanctuary Pub 2001). |

| I cant stop playing the new debut album by the Rowdy Prairie Dogs, The Revenge of the Rowdy Prairie dogs, one of the best Country Rock albums i've heard in a long while, strong melodies, catchy hooks, some great harmonies, and some really good guitar playing on both lead and pedal steel. Not a bad track on here. |

Thelew - just got onto this forun and spotted your first mention of Barra barra - I must have heard it on the same show. Found a copy of the album in the local Fopp store (sadly since closed) and didn't stop listening to it for weeks - brilliant!
My latest is the Miles From Nowhere track that Bob played at the end of the show last saturday. The album is on order and I have played the track a dozen times on listen again over the last week! |

| Yes Aquila, I will probably also have to buy the Miles From Nowhere. I was also quite impressed with the Subdudes track from last week. The Alabama 3 track 'The Middle Of The Road' from a few weeks back is also sticking in my mind and will have to be purchased shortly. |

| Ah, Lew, now you're talking! "There goes another love song, someone's singing about me again" - haven't played that in ages and won't be able to resist a revisit now you've started it off playing in my head. |

William Topley was the lead singer in THE BLESSING who released the quite brilliant album The Prince Of Deep Water some years back. Have just been playing one of his solo albums BLACK RIVER and you must listen to it's stand out track THE RING. Topley has a great voice and as the song builds to a finish his voice turns into part scream / shout when he lets it rip with the lines -
And I've been there once,
And I've been there twice,
And I ain't been no place three times in my sweet short life.
Quite startling. Really can't stop playing this one.

"Odessa" from Sam Baker's "Pretty World". My seven-year-old daughter, on having heard the song a few times, responded to the line [and he got what he wanted and that was all that really mattered.] with "To Him!". She got it!I nearly bought her a pony!
Also "Earl the Duck" from "The Packway Handle Band" I got their three CDs and a T-shirt. Gutted they're not playing anywhere near London. |

I use this mainly for Grateful Dead stuff but I've just taken the Little Feat concert - Live At Ultrasonic Studios (WLIR) on 19-9-1974 off it. They were really on fire that night. I just love this band. |

Since buying Canadian songwriter Tia McGraff's latest album 'A Day In My Shoes' its been hard to stop playing the track 'Second Chance' which features a great duet with Steve Balsamo of The Storys. It's so damn catchy I feel I may be wearing it out with laser grooves?! :)
Great to hear Bob play the track last weekend in the last hour before The Storys! Thanks for your support Bob! You love it too..I must have taste?

I tried hard to like The Trumpet Child...just couldn't do it - got five of their albums, though.
Now Morcheeba makes a pretty good backing band for Judie Tzuke - Dive Deep's getting a lot of plays here. |
