Edition #11 - Flyover Country
My first wish for every Dave's Basement Tracks is that you will reach out and BUY the music hear.. Spotify sucks to pay musicians and until they put a minimum royalty payback to artists for a decent reward for a cost of cd, until then I will continue to not offer them a dime. Ok that public announcement out of the way, let's talk about tonight's #appointmentmusic Like the old days, tune in at Tuesday February 18th at 5-6 on Ocooch Mountain Radio we'll play this dang cool playlist.. hang on to your hat (of if you are Michael Jackson your crotch)
Ok the DBT starts off with a Dylan song or cover and since Chicago Farmer has opened up to Todd Snider many times, he should open tonight with some obscure cd I bought from Todd with all Dylan covers... (I don't know if it was licensed but Ocooch will tell BMI/ASCAP we played them Ha) I choose two just for fun, and kept out of the library the one with the F word... Ha.
Chicago Farmer and Flyover Country is our featured and wow a great cd. This Arlo Guthrie type singer from Illinois took his trade to Austin TX and recorded with a major chunk of Band Heathens and the result is #MidAmericana at it's finest. All of the songs are incredible and we picked four for your enjoyment.
How could I not follow Chicago with my favorite Band of Heathens song and another funny man Texan Hayes Carll.
After that I did my usual rare music theme and this DOLLAR$.. we start off with the rare cut from Bluff View house concerts, then stay in the dollar theme with Hootenanny Joe from La Crosse, Caitlin Jemma from OR, a great old tune from IA's duo that divorced unfortunately Mike and Amy Finders, and Jim Craig an old folky from Chicago. A few dollars go a long keep throwing them at musicians, they need it.
I'm finishing the night with the two bands (Barbaro & Pat Ferguson) that are playing with Chicago Farmer in La Crosse Feb 20th. Then Humbird and Seasaw are playing the Cavalier March 20th.
