The Golden Arm Trio, The Hot 8 Brass Band, Suzanna Choffel, Langhorne Slim,

Wed, Nov 19 Listen
Radio Without Borders #152:November 19, 2008The Golden Arm Trio, The Hot 8 Brass Band, Suzanna Choffel, Langhorne Slim, and Susan Gibson. Golden Arm Trio "The Duchess of Parma" I'm going to start things off this week with something really cool by the Golden Arm Trio. A little background information first: This band is led by composer and musician Graham Reynolds, who, I've often said, is one of the busiest music artists in the history of ever. There's a little exaggeration in my tone, but...

Feist, SUNSET, Casey McPherson, Of Montreal, Plumtucker

Wed, Nov 12 Listen
Radio Without Borders #151:November 12, 2008Feist, {{{SUNSET}}}, Casey McPherson, Of Montreal, and Plumtucker. Feist "Let It Die" We'll start off this episode with a great composition by Feist. What I love about Feist is her ability to rework her more quiet and delicate songs into all-out rock 'n' roll numbers, and vice versa, during live performances. That's not always an easy thing to do, but she makes it look effortless. This song is from her November 2005 performance in KUT's Studio 1A....

Radio Without Borders #132:Corb Lund, The Ginn Sisters, The Dirty Hearts, Winterpills, and Leatherbag. Corb Lund "Five Dollar Bill" First up: A sort of history lesson from songwriter Corb Lund. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Lund grew up hearing about the life of cowboys (which includes the lineage in his own family history, by the way) and war tales of eras gone by. Thanks to his curiosity and fascination, he buried himself in military history books and found an interesting parallel...

Jamie Lidell, The Seikers, Rhett Miller, Man Man, Larry Harlow

Wed, Oct 29 Listen
Radio Without Borders #150:October 29, 2008Jamie Lidell, The Seikers, Rhett Miller, Man Man, and Larry Harlow. Jamie Lidell "Little Bit of Feel Good" We begin our show with a little bit of soul – all the way from Berlin, although really, he's a skinny English bloke. Jamie Lidell – please call him Jim – has an exhilarating voice that reveals a passion for soul and R&B. He visited KUT's Studio 1A in September 2008 and gave quite a stellar performance. The Seikers "You Can See Texas From the...

Jason Roberts, Okkervil River, The Rosebuds, Dr. Dog, Bee vs. Moth

Wed, Oct 15 Listen
Radio Without Borders #148:October 15, 2008Jason Roberts, Okkervil River, The Rosebuds, Dr. Dog, and Bee vs. Moth. Jason Roberts "Truck Drivin' Blues" Okay, this first artist is one of my favorites. I admit, I've started a Radio Without Borders episode or two with his work before, and I'm proud to present him to you again. Texas fiddle man Jason Roberts came back to visit KUT in the summer of 2008 for a Studio 1A performance. Okkervil River "Calling & Not Calling My Ex" Every time I have the...

Radio Without Borders #134:Southern Drama, Paul Thorn, Tift Merritt, My Education, and Justin Townes Earle. Southern Drama "Sour Is the Day" Up first we have something refined yet morose, dainty but deadly...sophisticated and feminine, but with raw edge. There's a sultry beauty and eeriness to Austin band Southern Drama. Their songs are the sort of tales one hears late at night, by the kerosene lamp. Their creations consist of an entire package composed of music, imagery, drama, dance and...

Wed, Oct 1 Listen
The Best of Radio Without Borders, #135:Patricia Vonne, The Gourds, Yo La Tengo, Bill Baird, and the White Ghost Shivers. Patricia Vonne "La Huerta de San Vicente" If you've heard Patricia Vonne before, you know she's got some rockabilly in her background. Just give a listen to songs like "Hot Rod Heart," and it's obvious she can rock out with the best of them. At the same time, this multi-faceted songwriter is greatly inspired by her Latin roots. She has a penchant for romance and drama, and...

Peter Rowan, Mark Olson, Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus, Elizabeth McQueen, P

Wed, Sep 24 Listen
Radio Without Borders #147:September 24, 2008Peter Rowan, Mark Olson, Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus, Elizabeth McQueen, and Pacha Massive. Peter Rowan "Restless Grave" Before his successful solo career, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Peter Rowan got his start with the Bluegrass Boys as a lead vocalist, guitarist and contributing songwriter in the 70's. This gave Rowan the opportunity to work with the artist regarded as the founding father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe. This song is taken...

Mary Ann Price, the Black and White Years, Erin Ivey, Shelley King, James H

Fri, Sep 19 Listen
Radio Without Borders #146:September 17, 2008Mary Ann Price, the Black and White Years, Erin Ivey, Shelley King, and James Hunter. Maryann Price "Slow Dancin'" This is a lovely track to begin this week's program, performed by Austin-based artist Maryann Price. This sultry-voiced singer got her start when she moved to San Francisco in 1969, and was invited to join Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks as a vocalist. Later, she had stints as a backing vocalist for The Kinks, and as a singer for Asleep At...

Wed, Sep 10 Listen
Radio Without Borders #145:September 10, 2008Barry Ingle, Ferraby Lionheart, The Redwalls, Shotgun Party, and My Education. Barry Ingle "Milk and Honey" To start our show this week, we have Austin-based songwriter Barry Ingle on vocals and piano. He'd been trying to get a full band together but admits that he isn't really sure what that's supposed to sound like, so he pretty much goes on his own. This is from a performance he gave in KUT's Studio 1A in April 2007. Ferraby Lionheart "Small...

The Calm Blue Sea, Kara Grainger, Peter Case, Jo Carol Pierce, Ray Bonnevil

Wed, Sep 3 Listen
Radio Without Borders #144:September 3, 2008The Calm Blue Sea, Kara Grainger, Peter Case, Jo Carol Pierce, and Ray Bonneville. The Calm Blue Sea "After the Legions" Each of the members of Austin instrumental group The Calm Blue Sea worked previously with other bands that produced music in a more traditional rock vein. The Calm Blue Sea originally began as a side project, something the guys did just for fun to see what direction the music took. But they got tighter and better, and decided that...

Tristan Prettyman, Sahara Smith, Ritmo Tres, The Lonesome Heroes, Monte War

Wed, Aug 27 Listen
Radio Without Borders #143:August 27, 2008Tristan Prettyman, Sahara Smith, Ritmo Tres, The Lonesome Heroes, and Monte Warden. Tristan Prettyman "Hello" We begin the show with an artist who's compared music to love. San Diego-born songwriter Tristan Prettyman has said that you might absolutely adore some music when you first hear it. The romance is immediate, no questions asked. Other times, it'll hit you when you least expect it. It grabs you by surprise. This is from a July 2008 performance...

Kim Miller, Mario Matteoli, Loxsly, Charanga Cakewalk, The Border Blasters

Wed, Aug 20 Listen
Radio Without Borders #142:August 20, 2008Kim Miller, Mario Matteoli, Loxsly, Charanga Cakewalk, and The Border Blasters. Kim Miller "I Still Believe" Kim Miller, a native of Wimberly, Texas, has a number of influences that have shaped her music, as any songwriter would. Among these influences are Joni Mitchell, Mary Hopkins, Kate Bush, the Finn Brothers...but she's also inspired by some decidedly non-music-related individuals – like, Jacques Cousteau. Miller herself has been a dive master...

The Boxmasters, Tony Gilkyson, Hans Frank and Glambilly, The Skunks, The Co

Wed, Aug 13 Listen
Radio Without Borders #141:August 13, 2008The Boxmasters, Tony Gilkyson, Hans Frank and Glambilly, The Skunks, and The Court & Spark. The Boxmasters"Yesterday's Gone" In addition to being a great actor, Billy Bob Thorton is a talented musician who's played in several bands throughout the years. In the summer of 2008, Thorton made a return visit to KUT's Studio 1A with his band, The Boxmasters. They got their start when Thorton met up with J.D. Andrew, and they shared their interest in...

Radio Without Borders #140:August 6, 2008Jason Roberts, Sisters Morales, Aimee Bobruk, Jim Ward, and Carolyn Wonderland. Jason Roberts"Am I Right or Amarillo?" We'll begin this week's show with some Texas fiddle, courtesy of Austin artist Jason Roberts. We've had Roberts as a guest in KUT's Studio 1A before, including some performances with his band Asleep At the Wheel, and singer-songwriter Elizabeth McQueen. He returned to KUT in July 2008 and gave a great solo performance, which included...

Bobby Bare, Jr., NOMO, Barbara K, Kaiser Cartel, Buttercup

Wed, Jul 30 Listen
Radio Without Borders #139:July 30, 2008Bobby Bare, Jr., NOMO, Barbara K, Kaiser Cartel, and Buttercup. Bobby Bare, Jr. "I'll Be Around" I guess our first artist has forged his own unique style over the years from two extreme ends of the spectrum. Bobby Bare, Jr. has a wonderful way of melding raw edges with a softer side in his songwriting. He reaches deep within to emit earth-rattling soul but with a twinge of melancholy. There can be a sad, quiet sweetness in his tone, but that same voice,...

Radio Without Borders #127:Sea Wolf, Caroline Casey, Davie Allan & The Arrows, Sahara Smith, and VHS or Beta. Sea Wolf "Middle Distance Runner" Once upon a time, there was a singer-songwriter named Alex Brown Church, from Los Angeles. Church had formed a band called Irving in 1998. However, he found that the material he wrote was tailored more toward an individual performer rather than a band, so he started doing solo shows under the stage name Sea Wolf. That's the story in a nutshell. While...

Wed, Jul 9 Listen
Radio Without Borders #125:Jim Noir, Pompeii, Dead Confederate, Beth Garner, and Jeff Daniels. Jim Noir "Same Place Holiday" We'll start our program with Manchester singer-songwriter Jim Noir. I've always remarked that the name Jim Noir sounds as if it should belong to a detective in a dark suspense novel, while the music by Jim Noir reflects a very groovy, lighter side of pop psychedelia. You'll also hear why he's often drawn comparisons to The Beach Boys. Jim Noir gave a special South By...

Radio Without Borders #117:Featuring performances by Manteca Beat, Freddie Steady 5, Moonlight Towers, Nakia, and Beaver Nelson. Manteca Beat "I-10" We're beginning our show this week with some awesome Texas R&B, lead by saxophonist Paul Klemperer. Austin outfit Manteca Beat draws a lot from 50s and 60s soul, jazz and blues. But, in Klemperer's own words, it isn't so much about the music genre as it is about the energy and expression behind it. Manteca Beat visited KUT's Studio 1A in April...

Danny Barnes, Amy Cook, Hacienda, Warm In the Wake, Robert Walker

Wed, Jun 25 Listen
Radio Without Borders #137:June 25, 2008Danny Barnes, Amy Cook, Hacienda, Warm In the Wake, and Robert Walker. Danny Barnes "Isotope 709" Like any great musician, songwriter Danny Barnes never narrowed his style down to one type of music. This guitarist and banjo player always does his homework. He's just as inspired by traditional roots and Americana as he is by rock, experimental music, or even electronica. The world is his music resource. Barnes formed The Bad Livers back in 1990 with...

Radio Without Borders #136:June 18, 2008Missy Higgins, Nortec Collective, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, Jon Langford, and Kissinger. Missy Higgins "Secrets" About three episodes ago, I featured a track by Melbourne, Australia native Missy Higgins, from a performance that she did in KUT's Studio 1A in May 2008. I listened to the entire performance again recently and kept going back to this track you're about to hear. I just couldn't pass it up. I love the sultry vocals. This song is...

Radio Without Borders #133:May 28, 2008Missy Higgins, Brandi Carlile, The Calm Blue Sea, Mike Dillon's Go-Go Jungle, and Colin Gilmore. Missy Higgins "The Wrong Girl" Melbourne, Australia native Missy Higgins first got her start as a singer when she was only 13, performing with her older brother's band. Cut to a few years later, fresh out of high school, success seemed to come rather quickly for Higgins. After the release of her debut album, The Sound of White, she was opening for artists...

Radio Without Borders #131:May 14, 2008Kaki King, John Hiatt, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, The Lonesome Heroes, and Laura Veirs. Kaki King "Saving Days In Frozen Heads" First on our list of performers is composer and guitarist Kaki King. She visited KUT just after the release of her fourth album, Dreaming of Revenge, in March 2008. She gives a remarkable live performance, and she has this distinctive finger-picking style that turns her guitar into a percussion instrument. She just has this...

The Breathers, Shotgun Party, John Waite, Backdoor Slam, Orgone

Wed, May 7 Listen
Radio Without Borders #130:May 7, 2008The Breathers, Shotgun Party, John Waite, Backdoor Slam, and Orgone. The Breathers "Coloured Glass" Our first performance features the very distinctive vocals of one Claire Hamilton. Her band is called The Breathers, based here in Austin, and Hamilton's voice truly does put a unique edge in the songs that makes them moody and alluring. It gives their music a bit of a lush, ambient tone, but there are soul and rock influences mixed into this stripped down,...

Radio Without Borders #129:April 30, 2008The Wombats, Jenifer Jackson, Shawn Mullins, The Unbearables, and The Bird and The Bee. The Wombats "Here Comes the Anxiety" The Wombats are a three-piece indie band that met at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in 2003. There are two Liverpudlians in the line-up: front man Matthew Murphy and bassist Dan Haggis, and one Norwegian, Tord Overland-Knudsen. It was the institute that actually gave them the opportunity to play shows outside of the...

Radio Without Borders #128:April 23, 2008Amy Lavere, The Holmes Brothers, J.J. Grey, Peel, and Paula Nelson. Amy LaVere "Take My Advice" Sometimes, for more intimate performances, we use Studio 1B here at KUT. The next performance you're about to hear was just such an occasion. Memphis-based singer-songwriter Amy LaVere was one of KUT's special guests during South By Southwest in March 2008. One way to describe her voice is "intoxicating." There's something sultry and seductive about that...
