On the angles show, a new way of looking at the old. Great tracks that revive the spirit of the blues, with a new angle taken on each. From nu soul, wailing harp, resonator and alt. country that tells you no lies, this is the deal.
An interview this week with the great Suzannah Espie talking about the new album 'First and Last Hotel'. We feature some sample cuts from this fabulous new music. Heaps of other alt. country and of course, some drivin' blues for ya.
