Great song we've been playing on the show from Graham's debut CD. 'Memories In Shadows' will be released nationally (USA) by Sinister Muse Records and Empyrean Records on October 9th, 2007. Thanks to GI for the pre-release copy.
Liz Stringer's lead track off her debut CD "Soon" showing the quality and style Liz is renowned for. Great songwriter and singer. Think Joan Armatrading for the C21 and you'll get the idea. Oh yeah, and from Oz as well. Interview with Liz coming 'soon'. Director Ash Koek and Beck Morley.
Australia's Mia Dyson doing a song from her last CD 'Parking Lots'. Stand by for Salty's interview with Mia for release late August 2007 where Mia talks about her new CD 'Struck Down', and touring with Eric Clapton and Bonnie Raitt. Simply, talent like this only comes by once in a while! Produced by Michael Russo 2007
Here's Australia's Pete Cornelius proving why he's way out on top. Playing with those frets like butter. Pete's in Chicago mid 2007 - so catch him if ya can - you'll be impressed.
Here's the track that broke SRV outside of the USA. We play the live 82 version from Montreux on the show - a cracker. This is from Toronto's El Mocambo (1983).
Here's what we's talkin bout: Muddy Waters and his bluesband live 1977.
Muddy Waters Vocals/Guitar
Jerry Portnoy Harp
Pinetop Perkins Piano
Luther Johnson - Guitar
Bob Margolin - Guitar
Calvin Jones - Bass
Willie "big eyes" Smith - drums
The late great Chris Whitley performing a rough version of "automatic" from his album "terra incognita" r.i.p. A deceptive melody that nails urban alienation as only Whitley could.
Hear Jeff Lang(now) and Ashley Davies(soon) talk about working with Chris Whitley in Australia early 2005, over on the Interviews page.
Australia's Rory Ellis tells you those things you don't want to know, but you can't look away. Fabulous singer/songwriter.
Here's a video Rory cut in the studio with Dave Steel (lap steel) and the late Stuart Speed on bass - and make sure you check out Rory's interview with Salty on the interviews page.
An Australian singer/songwriter that bites the dark bends behind the everyday dross. Under the radar in Oz for too long cause he charts his own course. Time will tell!
