31 December 2013 - Review of the Year - Show number One!

Hi all

Looking back over the year I was surprised at the amount (but not the variety) of music I had been sent so I have decided to do a Review Show.  Now this may seem easy to do, pick out a few tracks, load them up, sort out the running order and off we go - but no Sir it is not.  With the variety and amount of music you've sent me I can't get the list to just one show so I've spilled over to two shows and this wasn't enough.  I want to play one track from as many of you who have contributed to this years Show by sending in your music so it looks like January 2014 is to be entirely a Review of 2013 as I'm now into FOUR shows of music as I'm not that good at leaving stuff out.  So there will be no 'Time for Tom' this week and maybe not for the whole month as Tom has yet to send me in any of his music! 

So here is 'Review of the Year - Show One'

Johnny Winter (featuring Derek Trucks). Dust My Broom

17 December 2013 - Shesham & Lotus & Son and maybe a Christmas tune

Hi all

Thumbing through all the CD's you've sent me over the years, I found at the back one from bloodygreatpr.com that seemed to have gone under the radar and before 'What's in the Post?' This was '1929 - New Kings of Old Time' by Sheesham & Lotus & Son; They're touring in 2014 if you're interested.  Having let this slip I've apologised to myself and to overcome the guilt I will be playing 3 yes 3 tracks from it on this week's show, also its bloody good and has jug and kazoo throughout, which in my bag is a winner!  Also as its coming up to Christmas - and instead of playing all those folkie 'xmas' tunes and those people who insist of playing wassailing tunes before Christmas and for the Christmas period (no no i say, keep it for Old Christmas please and Old Twelvey Night as it should be) - I may be Bahh humbug!! enough to play a Christmas tune, just the one mind!  Hopefully we'll have 'Time for Tom'  but as Tom Waits for no man - it could be a tight run thing.

So here is the track listings for this week

ARTIST ................................................. TRACK
Sheesham & Lotus & Son ....................... 1929
Steve Roux and the Brass Knuckle Blues Band . Satisfy Susie
Twelfth Day ............................................ Sunday Girl
Back Pack Jones ....................................... Riptide Baby
Sarah-Jane Summers and Juhani Silvola . Lassie An' Siller An' A's My Ain
Sheesham & Lotus & Son ....................... Keep it Clean
Henrik Freischlader ................................. Breakout
Chloe Clifford .......................................... Havoc
Sammy Hagar ...........................................Winding Down
Sheesham & Lotus & Son ........................ Sister Maud Mule
The Pogues ............................................... Fairytale of Ney York

Yes yes yes .. the Pogues GET the xmas song surprise sirprise !!!!
