The perfect song with which to open the show...

'Songs from the Wood' - Jethro Tull


An old favourite. No naughty words, but you may find the euphemisms a tad risqué!

'Hunting Girl' - Jethro Tull


For the listeners who think the food chain begins in the supermarket. We didn't always have tractors!

'Heavy Horses' - Jethro Tull


My personal favourite, for reasons associated with my baby girl going to live in the United States.

'Farm on the Freeway' - Jethro Tull


A RURAL THEME BEREFT OF TULL? INCONCEIVABLE!

Indeed, I salute its inconceivability!

#3 - #22 - #36 - That is brilliant! And Buttercup is The Princess Bride!!!

:o)

The Farmer wants a wife!

Catch Me If You Can - Brendan Shine

Green Island - Christy Moore

YMCA - The Village People

;o)

* Blur - Country House
* Fratellis - Cuntry Boys & City Girls
* Neil Young - Harvest Moon
* Saw Doctors - Hay Wrap (Get that wasp off my sandwich!)
* Saw Doctors - Galway and Mayo about the classic childhood family drive out into the country. Are we nearly there yet?

Stuff suggested above that's ace
* Bruce/Seeger Session Band - My Oklahoma Home

Stuff that there's nae danger of getting through the Bryan/Babs filter and being played (some of which is also in the above category):
* The Imagined Village - Hard Times of Old England
* Fairport Convention - Red and Gold
* Bragg - World Turned Upside Down
* Runrig - The Cutter
* Tull - Songs from the Wood
* Pink Floyd - Sheep

The Fratellis seem to have got through some sort of filter

I don't know about the Bryan/Babs filter but I'm amazed the Fratellis got through the profanity filter! LOL!

;o)

#45/46 Me too, but that's a well known exception - if you filter for that within words then you block any and all mention of Scunthorpe.

Which some would view as A Good Thing.

Oh, another that hasn't yet made it through the filter, despite multiple requests from JFE and myself (and others perhaps):

* Mike Oldfield - On Horseback

#44 Worth pointing out that the features the Braggster.

You could equally do
* The Imagined Village -
Featuring Paul Weller along with Martin Carthy & Eliza Carthy (who has a voice that Kate Rusby's wants to be when it grows up)

#49 - CaptRamius - On Bryan's Blog you diss Kate Rusby at your peril!

;o)

Beachcombing - Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris

Hunting Shooting Fishing - Dr Feelgood

Villages??

Only one. Take your pick from some fine tunes.



"The only Scotch she knows is from a bottle" - needs to get on this blog more then!


:)

But is Mr Git's middle name Jeannie?

#52 - Why have I never seen this? Was Gene Kelly really plucking Heather on a hill? We should be telt!

;o)

Lots of very real eclectic possibilities tonight

Leadbelly's Where Did You Sleep Tonight?
Hank's Honky Tonk Blues
Kennedy's Night Of The Living Rednecks
Led's Misty Mountain Hop
Yes's Southside Of The Sky
UK Subs Down On The Farm

but I'd really like















Cliff & the Shadows In The Country!

Villagers - 'Becoming A Jackal'

#50

Not dissing Kate at all. Just pointing out how much *better* Eliza is, and amazed that Bryan has overlooked.

But then, Eliza is *folk* and Bryan doesn't do that (although why, given his BBness' love of country is beyond me). Kate's the exception.

#46

W. Shakespeare (Hamlet & Ophelia (sic))

#16

She Runs Hot - Little Village

#58 - Glen - Not a restaurant in Cambuslang then?

I saw the crescent, You saw the whole of the moon" ??

#62 #54 (etc)

Saw this on sale on DVD in my local yellow-coloured supermarket for a fiver just last week.

Thought of another to add to my list:

Country Honk - The Rolling Stones, from their album Let it bleed

#66 Am a burner gnome

Tonights choice is made for probably Jackie Leven's finest song.

"Farm Boy" from his first album, "The Mystery of Love is Greater Than the Mystery of Death" (1994 Cooking Vinyl)

When I was a farm boy,
Working in snow,
Putting up fences,
In shadow of Skiddaw..

This will be my first played request..

When I was a farm boy,
working in snow,
putting up fences,
in shadow of Skiddaw.

It was cold in the morning,
and my hands couldn't feel,
but the hammers kept ringing down,
on wet posts of steel.

and the sky made me frightened,
with the shape and the sound,
configuration,
to menace the ground.

but I found in my heart,
such peach and respite,
from the nightmare of being young,
in a cold caravan,
as I lay in the dark,
the silence was better,
than any song ever sung.

but the weather was changing,
sweet spring in the air,
I left the farmhouse,
on a song and a prayer.

And I came to the city,
and the trash they call fame,
where the hammers kept raining down,
as they fence in your name.

but whenever I ride north,
and I look from the train,
I can still see the farm boy,
alone in the rain...

no mean burger, man

BRING ME THE HERD OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

There it goes Git.
