Listening to and absolutely loving
Appalachian Voices On Mountain Stage while putting the finishing touches on this episode. If you're unfamiliar with Appalachian Voices, it's the combination of
Ben Sollee,
Daniel Martin Moore and
Yim Yames (who appears in this episode), three Kentucky musicians united by their concerns about the practice of mountaintop removal coal mining and its affects on the Appalachian region. With that group it's not shocking that the end result is something utterly fantastic and amazingly beautiful.
I don't know if it's the quickly approaching fall, but I've been on a folk and bluegrass kick lately that I'm not in a huge hurry to end. Along those lines, Kalamazoo's own
Michael Beauchamp makes an appearance on this episode as well as Chicago bluesman
Jimmy Burns (who you can catch from time to time at
Rosa's Lounge). All in all this episode feels a little more on point than the previous few have. Which isn't to say the other ones were bad, this just feels like it's hitting the proverbial spot a little better. Could just be me. Anyway, haven't had requests in a little while, feel free to drop a line on
Facebook or
Twitter.
