B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 1 MAY 2010


Singer/songwriters, Brit "Wreckless" Eric Goulden and Nashville/Brooklyn-based Amy Rigby from two sides of "the pond" (Atlantic Ocean), met several years ago in a pub in Hull, England. Now they're married, and Amy now has National Health. Oh, and they released a terrific pop record together, Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby, on Stiff, late in 2009. Two very witty, ironic and funny songwriters could not have gotten it more right this time 'round. Check out their record! Best of luck (I'm terribly envious of Wreckless Eric; I've had a crush on Amy since her days with The Shams, playing in Brooklyn!)
