26/09/2007
Radio Without Borders #98:September 26, 2007Ray Davies, Mary Ann Price, Alejandro Escovedo, Paul White, and KT Tunstall. Ray Davies "Celluloid Heroes" You can imagine the excitement at KUT's Studio 1A when we had Ray Davies as our special guest. Once at the forefront of the British Invasion of the ¿60s with The Kinks, he remains a successful critically-acclaimed solo artist. Mary Ann Price "Slow Dancin'" Next is a romantic interlude with an artist who, coincidentally, used to provide backing vocals for The Kinks in the ¿70s: Jazz vocalist Mary Ann Price. She was singing commercial jingles in her hometown of Baltimore and performing jazz in Las Vegas when she was asked to join Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks in 1969. After the band's break-up, she went on to work with the Kinks and then Asleep At the Wheel in 1980, before pursuing her solo career. Alejandro Esco...

Radio Without Borders: September 19, 2007:Feist, The Gourds, Oliver Rajamani, The Hudsons & Mary Gouthier Feist"Mushaboom" Leslie Feist has successfully combined the sounds of indie rock, bossa nova, and jazz in most of her work. She's been putting together solo albums since 2002, but she's also made creative contributions to the music of Kings of Convenience and Broken Social Scene. The Gourds"Promenade" The Gourds combine their love of music with their love of having a good time, and they're not afraid to experiment with different approaches to composing. Take, for example, their 2007 release, Noble Creatures: it was literally based upon a single song with a ukulele chord that was totally discovered by accident. Oliver Rajamani"Zeo" Originally from India, Oliver Rajamani has taken great strides to preserve the music and culture from the South of India to the Mi...

Radio Without Borders: September 12, 2007Jenny Lewis, Rhett Butler, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Imogen Heap, and Jon Dee Graham. Jenny Lewis "The Charging Sky" Jenny Lewis has found success as a member of the band Rilo Kiley, and as a solo artist, most notably with her work accompanied by The Watson Twins. Rhett Butler "I Hope You Never Change" It seems Rhett Butler knew at an early age that his career would be defined by how far he could push the limits of the guitar. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy "Save My Soul" Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was releasing CDs on its own label, Big Bad Records, before being signed on to Capitol in the late ¿90s. The two founding members, Scott Morris and Kurt Sodergren, founded the group in Los Angeles in 1989.

06/09/2007
Radio Without Borders #84 Rebroadcast September 5 from Wednesday, May 30, 2007Ana Laan, The Weary Boys, Golden Bear, Jane Siberry, and The Dolly Partners Ana Laan "Ex" It isn't entirely inaccurate to say that songwriter Ana Laan is from all over the world. She is the ultimate world music artist, continuing to travel the world, and fluently speaking, and singing in, Spanish or French or Swedish without missing a beat. "Ex" is from her 2006 album, Chocolate and Roses. The Weary Boys "You're the One I Care For" The members of The Weary Boys left their Northern California home to make a living playing music in Austin. It wasn't easy. Like any band, they paid their dues, but hard work and determination paid off. This is definitely an Austin favorite, roots music at its best. Golden Bear "Ten Thousand Orchestras" Make way for music with fanfare and a joyous sound. Austin ...

Toots Hibbert "Do the Reggae" Legendary ska and roots reggae singer Toots Hibbert, of Toots and the Maytals, is often credited for coining the term "reggae." These days, he continues to take his music on the road, and KUT was lucky to have him as a guest in Studio 1A for a live performance. Porterdavis "Shadows" Before each of their live shows, Austin trio Porterdavis make a toast and pour a drop or two on the ground in honor of all of their favorite musical heroes who came before them: Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Elvin Jones, Towns Van Zandt, just to name only a few. Wendy Colonna "October" Singer-songwriter Wendy Colonna may be regarded as an Austin artist, but her roots and inspiration are based deep in the heart...
