B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 2 OCT. 2010

Before Argentinian-Swedish singer/songwriterJose Gonzalez's solo career took off, he was in the band Junip, formed by Gonzalez and friends, Tobias Winterkorn (keyboards, percussion) and drummer Elias Araya, in the late '90's. Art school and solo careers postponed a full-length by Junip, until recently, with the excellent release of Fields. Fans of Gonzelez's solo work will not be disappointed with this collaborative effort, adding a beat and old keyboards to give Gonazelez's lyrics and guitar playing more of a pulse.

The original LP cover of Jesus of Cool, by producer, singer/songwriter Nick Lowe, released in 1978. It was the debut solo record by "The Basher." The rest is history. Mr. Lowe will be on a rare U.S. tour with Elvis Costello. They will be singing one another's songs. He'll also be touring with a full band (another rarity!), including old bandmates, Brinsley Schwartz and Bob Andrews (former members of The Rumour). Graham Parker will also be opening for Lowe on a few dates (Lowe had produced a number of Parker's early records). Click here for more details!

Blondie, circa 1978, hanging out in the mean streets of Manhattan, which was going through an economic spiral (sounds familiar), but it also allowed the movements like the CBGB scene to flourish. Also, the rents were very cheap, then.

UK singer/songwriter Pete Molinari, pictured here at the 2009 Cambridge Folk Festival, has just released an excellent record of Ricky Nelson/Bob Dylan/Everly Brothers-influenced folk/pop, entitled A Train Bound For Glory. Thanks to producer/musician Adam Landry, along with the fine guitar work of Chris Scruggs (acoustic & electric guitars, pedal steel), there's more of an edge to Molinari's songs of the heart. As well, Molinari's singing has matured, growing into his own, distinct and golden voice. Not to mention that The Jordanaires also guests on a few songs, as well as The McCrary Sisters.
