Radio Crystal Blue 6/20/24
Part 1 starts with something old and new from Lara Ewen, who releases a new album in September. I strung along this theme toward a new song from The Dollyrots. Segment 1 is songwriter-oriented, followed by more music from a recent Putumayo World Music compilation. More uptempo and rock material in the following segment. Debuts within the rotation include Fem du Lit, Kovak, and The Lookout.
Part 2 of the latest episode launches with more from the new album by Cactus, an all-star affair that we'll continue to enjoy on the next 2 podcast episodes. Next segment is mostly Americana/roots songwriter material, followed by more bluegrass and folk. Dan Tyminski, The Gibson Brothers and The Ruta Beggars are part of the upcoming Moccasin Creek Festival next month in Illinois. Megan Bee, Terry Klein, and Frank Martin Gilligan are part of the Montrose Music Festival in South Dakota at the end of July. Debut airplay in this half of the show for Rosy Nolan and Daada. In closing, a small tribute to Tom Prasada Rao, who passed away just prior to this show's recording.
