Hi All,
Matt Carlson was back as a co-host. All the songs in some way connected to roses. The idea for this show came when I heard The Rose playing on the Kwik Trip speakers while putting gas in the car before a recent show. I mentioned on air that The Rose was one of my favorite songs, yet another reason I'm not what you might call cool. Matt heard me and the next thing I knew we were chatting about a show.
Originally Matt and I were going to play thirteen different versions of the Rose, but ultimately it was concluded doing so might lead to a less than enjoyable program, perhaps even an annoying one. And so instead, a morning of songs somehow connecting to roses--all songs selected by Matt.
The playlist went like this...
1) John Martyn; Seven Black Roses; Serendipity
2) Bette Midler; The Rose; Experience the Divine
3) Linda Ronstadt; Love is a Rose; The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt
4) Johnny Cash; Give My Love to Rose; The Essential Johnny Cash
5) Christine Kane; She Don't Like Roses; Putumayo Presents American Folk
6) John Prine; One Red Rose; Great Days
7) Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds; Where the Wild Roses Grow; Murder Ballads
8) Pieta Brown; Nobody's Rose; I Never Told
9) Dave Alvin; Plastic Rose; Blue Blvd.
10) Lucinda Williams; Like a Rose; Lucinda Williams
11) Robert Plant/Allison Krauss; Trampled Rose; Raising Sand
12) Siobhan Owen; The Rose; Storybook Journey
13) Jackson Brown; Rosie; Running on Empty
Thanks to Matt for an excellent set...
And, if you're looking for some of those versions of The Rose...

Happy New Year Everyone,
I'm posting the playlist about ten minutes after the show--so far keeping my resolution to be better about getting these lists posted. As always, thanks for listening and for supporting community radio!
Before the list...here are links to the items I mentioned on today's show...the great blog post connecting a haircut to Bruce Springsteen, the book about former champ Floyd Patterson, and the magazine article called "Frank Sinatra has a Cold"--enjoy. Oh, and I also shared my affection for the song, The Rose--heard it the other day while putting gas in my car and am not ashamed to say I was moved. Well, maybe kinda ashamed, but...

1) John Prine, Spanish Pipedream; In Person and On Stage
2) Robert Plant & Allison Krauss; Killing the Blues; Raising Sand
3) Robert Plant & Allison Krauss; Gone, Gone, Gone; Raising Sand
