Yeah but no but yeah but no...
Great show tonight folks. As usual you came up with a playlist that was full of surprises and changes of direction. Curtis Stigers, Teddy Thompson and Henri’s Eartha Kitt track were the standout ones for me. For Thursday we are going to do yes and no songs. I’d like to do a yes followed by a no throughout the show so feel free to suggest one of each…

The Cash version of Ain't No Grave is great (and I particularly like the chains SFX), but you *have* to hear the recent Tom Jones version - Praise and Blame is a remarkable album.
I also very much like the , which is on the True Blood soundtrack.
* Michelle Shocked - Got No Strings
Very nice Western Swing version
* Pink Floyd - Nobody Home
So that's 3 (or 4 or 5, depending on how you look at it) Nos from me.
