| Greyboy/Vernon Garret | U Blew My Mind | Greyboy found some obscure soul on vinyl and it goes on and on... |

| Los Hombres Calientes | New Bus Stop | These New Orleans guys-- led by Bill Summer & Irvin Mayfield-- play jazz, funk, Latin, ska and more. With Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez on drums, replacing Jason Marsalis. |
| Duke & the Drivers | Come A Little Closer | Pals & contemporaries of the J Geils Band, these Boston-area guys started touring last year and put out a hot live album called "Check Your Bucket" (Dukedom, 2003). These last two are for Len! |
| Slim Harpo | Got Love If You Want It | Blues with a rhumba beat, from one of the best |

| Corey Harris | Tamalah | More Ali Farka Toure here |
| Mother Earth | I'll be Moving On | Tracy Nelson fronted this 60s band along with RP St. John-- and a bunch of great players. Does anyone know what happened to RP SJ? |
| Delbert McClinton (not) | Lord Knows I've Tried | "Don't Let Go: The Collection" has 15 songs attributed to early Delbert. But this one doesn't sound like Delbert. |
| Delbert McClinton (not) | Lost in a Dream | That's Delbert on harmonica but the vocal sounds more like Glen Clark, Delbert's partner in the 70s. |
| Delbert McClinton | Mr. Pitiful | That gravelly voice is the real Delbert, doing a nice cover of an Otis Redding tune. |
| Los Lonely Boys | Onda | Hot Tex-Mex guitars from the Garza brothers; despite technical difficulties, the tune rocks |
| Tony Furtado | Oh, Berta, Berta | Billy Pope turned me on to this stuff-- and lots more. From his 2002 "American Gypsy" CD. This is not bluegrass! |

| Warren Zevon | Lawyers, Guns and Money | Also from KGSR, Volune 8, recorded in 1999. |
| Del Castillo | Para Mi Sobrina | Another great Tex-Mex brother guitar duo, from "Vida" (2004). Keep an eye/ear open for these guys. |
| Elliot Goldenthat | The Floating Bed | From the soundtrack to "Frida" |
| Alejandro Escovedo w/ Rosie Flores | Ballad of the Sun & Moon | Some say he is the best songwriter in Austin; although he's been ill (Hepatitis C) and broke (no health insurance), he still can play! From KGSR Broadcasts, Volume 10. |
| Son Volt | Sometimes | "Por Vida: A Tribute to the Songs of Alejandro Escovedo" is a new 30 song CD with singers like Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle and many more. |

| Melancholy Ramblers | Ballad of the Killer D's | Original tune about the heroic Texas legislators who avoided the clutches of the evil Republicans! |
| Melancholy Ramblers | Total Yodel (again) | We need to hear Brady's yodel one more time. |
| Joan Baez | Christmas in Washington | "Come Back, Woody Guthrie" wrote Steve Earle om this timely song; Joan Baez sang it in March 2003 for KGSR Broadcasts, Volume 11. |
| Mavis Staples | Hard Times | A terrific new album-- "Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster"-- makes these old old songs sound so new. |
| Butch Hancock & Marce Lacouture | So I'll Run | Al Strehli tune, from "Yella Rose" (Rainlight Records, 1985). This album, now on CD, is highly recommended. |
| Duhks | Camptown Races | More Stephen Foster. From American Roots Publishing, 2004. |
| Henry Kaiser | Autumn Waltz | Stephen Foster wrote instrumentals too and Henry Kaiser knows how to keep a 150 year old song fresh |
