Episode 5: Moon Rocks

No new albums or artists to feature this week, just back to the good ol basics that have made up this show's playlist for quite some time. Well... most of it anyway. As this show has continued to evolve I've had trouble denying any episode music either from or based in another culture; this week I'm delighted to throw Afro-Cuban All Stars into the mix. Their albums Distinto, Diferente and A Toda Cuba Le Gusta both put a smile on my face and make me want to actually learn how to dance... properly... which is something my coordination isn't all that well suited for.

Also had a request for Greensky Bluegrass on Facebook this week and as you may expect was more than happy to oblige. If you've been reading the blog for a little while you probably noticed Greensky on the bluegrass compilation Two High Turtles, Nitty Gritty Duhks & Devil Ramblers, and if you haven't been reading for a while and like bluegrass some of my favorites are on there.
