This week has truly been an embarrassment of riches for me. I have received so much good new music, I feel that I`m not worthy! But you are, and that`s why I`m going to share it with you on this week`s Tuesday Night Diner.
Most of this week`s batch of new music comes from right here in California. The world has been waiting for a couple of years for the new Rich McCulley album, “Starting All Over Again”, and I`ve got a prerelease copy in my hot little hands. I`ll be playing a great track from this L.A. singer-songwriter—and this may well be its radio debut (and even if it isn`t, this baby doesn`t come out for another month, so it`s kind of like an exclusive!).
More goodness from the Corner Laughers—a song they thought might be too “weird” for radio—I think it`s too gorgeous to not play on radio!
A guy who used to be a big fixture on the Sacramento scene—he even played on one of Cake`s albums—Ben Morss, and his band Chariots of Tuna—absolutely rawk with a new track that he sent me from his New York City base of operations. He`s a brilliant keyboardist, but he added some electric guitar to this song and really upped his game a notch or two!
Speaking of expatriate Sacramentans—Anton Barbeau, who now lives in Cambridge, UK, graces us with another song this week. If you like Robyn Hitchcock, you`ll like Anton. And if you don`t—well, you still might like Anton anyway! I`ll be featuring an in-studio session with Anton and Allyson Seconds in the next week or so on Tuesday Night Diner, so stay tuned for that.
A couple of L.A.-based singer-songwriters with whom I`ve just become acquainted—Michael Miller and Beth Thornley—have both sent me their new CDs, and they are really good. They`re both in the folk/pop/Americana vein. They`ll be gigging up here in Sacramento in a few weeks, and with any luck, I`ll have them on the show, so this is a good chance to get to know them.
Finally, Allyson Seconds brings it all home with her loving tribute to Sacramento, off of her new Bag of Kittens release. In my opinion, there aren`t nearly enough songs which mention Sacramento (Cake and Robyn Hitchcock both did, and after that, the pickins are slim), so she ignites some hometown pride in this radio diner chef`s heart.
A big state with some big music. California. And I`m glad to share this musical goodness with you this week on Tuesday Night Diner, 8:00-10:00 p.m. only on Recharged Radio. See you there!
