First off, this week marked 39 years in the 6-9 pm Thursday night slot at WRIU for myself and The Boudin Barndance radio show. I’d be curious to know how long many of you out there have been listening. It was not much for celebrating this evening, just a straight-up program featuring new releases the first hour followed by the weekly C&W segment. We kicked off the 2nd half of the program with some Texas favorites and then played the field the reminder of the way. New albums and singles this evening came from Todd Allbright, Cactus Lee, Clay Street Unit, Boy Golden, Young Fresh Fellows, and Morgan Nagler. Hope you were able to listen, but if not check out the LISTEN link above to check out the archive. Buttshaker of the week???? Johnny Carroll with “Crazy Crazy Lovin.” Now let’s all grab a cold one or two and get to the goods….
