New Weird America
This week The Great American Music Hour spotlights bands and artists who make music that can only be called "New Weird America." That phrase originally comes from the title of Greil Marcus's book about Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes; it was his name for that semi-buried world of often eerie Americana music that Dylan and The Band tapped into. "The old, weird America is a land of juke joints and revival preachers, medicine shows and haunted battlefields?where preachers speak in tongues and tricksters make deals at crossroads." Rest assured the form is not dead. Our 77th show features some new weird American music from folks like the Mountain Pearls, the Wormwood Brothers, The Deacon Brandon Reeves, the Water Callers, Brian Whitson and the Night Wolves, and others. Enjoy the show and be sure and check out The Best Of The Great Amerian Music Hour sampler series on Apple iTunes.

They are a synthesis of each members' past musical experiences, including, Folk, Jazz, Country, Celtic, Rock, 50?s Doo-Wop and even Storytelling.

- "Splits" by The Dolorama Project (5mb)
Wed, 28 Feb 2007 12:51:46 -0600
This week's Great American Music Hour Track Of The Week is "Splits" by The Dolorama Project from their new album Subject To Change. Close to a one-man show, the Dolorama Project has been staged by Roeland Dol, an editor who compiles dictionaries by day and songs by night. The Project's album, Subject To Change, contains 14 tracks in various tones and voices, all of which emerged during the recording process. Since love and life don't always lead to happy endings (or seldom without a bit of a struggle anyway), most of the lyrics have a certain weary quality, but it's not all gloomy stuff. Subject To Change can be purchased on Apple iTunes. You can also check out the band's MySpace Page for more information about the music. In the meantime sit back, enjoy a great song, and be sure to tell your friends and neighbors about the The Great American Music Hour.

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 09:13:45 -0600
This week's Great American Music Hour Track Of The Week is "Life Without Fences" by Lee Tyler Post from his album Life Without Fences. Over the past six years, Lee has built a reputation as a road warrior with a blue-collar approach to his music, performing 150-200 shows a year and driving 25,000-40,000 miles annually. He calls his style "Rock N Soul,"and at least one reviewer agreed, describing it this way: ?...Post's sound is as much Springsteen and Van Morrison as it is Otis Redding and Al Green: blue-collar heartland grit mixed with Motor City soul...? His album, Life Without Fences, can be purchased on Apple iTunes. You can also check out his website for more information about Lee Tyler Post and his music. In the meantime sit back, enjoy a great song, and be sure to tell your friends and neighbors about the The Great American Music Hour.
