The Boudin Barndance - 12/26/2002

This evening's focus was a roundup of new recordings from 2002 that hit the spot
for this fellow. Closed the night with the five that hit the spot the best with
the solo release from Bobby Bare Jr. grabbing top honors in my listening world
and the sophomore release from Laura Cantrell not far behind. As for the Boudin
Barndance top half dozen, they went something like this:

1) Bobby Bare Jr., Young Criminal's Starvation League (Bloodshot)
2) Laura Cantrell, When the Roses Bloom Again (Diesel Only)
3) Kelly Willis, Easy (Rykodisc)
4) Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez, Let's Leave This Town (Lone Star)
5) Billy Joe Shaver, Freedom's Child (Compadre)
6) Cornell Hurd Band, Song of South Austin (Behemoth)

Next week will be devoted to reissues, various artists collections, and live
deals. Oh yeah, we'll also be spinning a bunch of Hank Williams, too. And if
you're marking up your new calendars, we'll have Roger Wallace live in the
studio on Thursday, January 9.
