Tonight, I’ll play selections from Laura Marling’s delightful new release “Laura Sings Raffi.”
I’ll also play music from John Buck Wilkins, who wrote the original songs for movie maverick Dennis Hopper’s much-mythologized/maligned “The Last Movie. ”

Tonight we listen to a compilation of the the first 19 entries in the It’s A Movie! Song of the Week segment, plus a bonus track. I probably hit on the idea for this opening segment of Picture This sometime last fall, and it took just about six months to compile enough tunes to create an entire show, mostly because some of themes for programs between then and now precluded doing the segment at all [ . . . ]

On tonight’s show I’ll play from a 1980 country music concept album written by Paul Kennerley, based on the outlaw Jesse James, featuring Levon Helm, Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash.
I’ll also pay tribute to the late Texas singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith.
In between, there’s an exploration into recent side projects from The Mekon’s co-founder Jon Langford. Enjoy!

It occurred to me that Picture This has been heavy with movie music for several weeks to the detriment, I thought, of music written for the small screen. I decided to do two hours of TV-related songs and scores encompassing music from the 1950s through the present day. Many of these musical themes should be familiar to anybody who likes television history and has followed the development of the medium from the post-WWII years until now. Or, if you just like being reminded of tunes related to your favorite shows. Enjoy.
