Happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all! From the vaults, the legendary Bothy Band performing "Do You Love an Apple" at the Embankment in Dublin, 1976. Astoundingly beautiful- browse YouTube for the band and you are in for a real treat. This seminal band was the model for innovation in Celtic music

Woody

Rare Woody Guthrie

We may have been asleep and missed this when it first surfaced, but in case you were, too, here you go- one of (supposedly) only two pieces of film of Woody performing, this one is extraordinary.

Amanda Shires: When You Need a Train It Never Comes

You know, that there is a lot of similarity in contemporary music, more than there ever was- as well as as more diversity. You can easily miss something really great, as you may not be Mc-reminded 100 times. But it is out there, and when it is good, it WILL get around (with a little viral elbow-grease). Here's one: Watch this stark, mesmerizing video from Amanda Shires of When You Need A Train It Never Comes. Amanda was playing fiddle with the Texas Playboys at age 15and is on tour now.

Just out from Break Thru RadioTV, "Gone" by Morgan O'kane , very cool banjo-dude playing it live on the Staten Island Ferry. Originally from Virginia, Morgan O'kane has brought a bit of southern mountain flare to New York City for the past seven years, this is the real deal, check him out.

Gerry Segal: Bus Ride To Washington

In Honor of MLK: Gerry Segal attended the 1963 March on Washington. "When I saw the last summers 'Restoring Honor' gathering abusing the memory of Martin Luther King I wrote this song."Peace, all...

hall

Ben Hall: I'll See You In My Dreams

The first time Charlie Louvin discovered the young, Merle Travis-style guitarist Ben Hall playing, he asked, "When can you go to work with me?" When Hall replied that he couldn't just yet, as he was studying music at Belmont University, the elder statesman was none too pleased to be turned down, huffing, "You don't need to be in school, you are meant to be playing that guitar."
