Yeah this is great if you never wanna know what artists and songs he plays. What's the point of playing 50 minutes straight of music and then back announcing it all at the same time? This is inconsiderate to most listeners. It's happened to me more than a few times that I tuned in, heard something I liked and never found out what it was because he never seems to back announce. Just one of my pet peeves I guess. Jim

Another show to listen to is Folkways, on Saturday morning. Lots of live local and touring music, and despite the name it's not all folky. There are several DJs who take turns, and they range from Celtic to folky to more bluegrassy in their tastes. Also, KUT carries This American Life on Saturday afternoon, which is my favorite NPR program, and not too many NPR affiliates seem to carry it.

Jon Emery on KUT Radio
I recently started listening to KUT on the web from Austin. I started with Mark Rubin's "Overnigt" show, though it comes on a bit late. Then I discovered Tom Pittman (I believe he is with the Austin Lounge Lizards) hosting live shows on the LiveSet show. This week, Sunday April 25th from 8-9 CST, he will host Jon Emery. I heard Jon for the first time on a tape compilation of train songs that someone sent me. With the help of David Goodman of Modern Twang, I was able to find out more about Jon Emery. A description follows. The address for KUT on the web is http://www.utexas.edu/kut/kutradio.ram. A direct link to the LiveSet show is: http://www.kut.org/liveset/index.html. There is also an archived show by Austin folk/blues artist Peter Keane, who I have become a real fan of, both his solo work and with Bill Morrissey. I see that 5/9 is a show with Bruce Robison. Born in Vermont, December 28, 1946; was in a group in California in the early 1960s called the VIPs with Leroy Preston who was later in Asleep at the Wheel. Jon then had a country swing group called the Missouri Valley Boys that toured the Midwest in the early 1970s; he then moved to Austin, Texas and the MVB became a Western swing group called Whiskey Drinkin' Music which morphed into the Jon Emery Band. Played clubs in Austin the 70s-80s and recorded Hillbilly Rock Roll for Bear Family in 1985; guests on the record included Jimmy Day, Alvin Crow, and Erik Hokkanen; did a live album from the Cactus Cafe then another for BF called If You Don't Buy This, I'll Find Somebody Who Will in 1995. Latest album = Two Separate Highways in 1997 for Rib House Records. -- Christopher Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Strange Things Happenin' Every Day" - Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Jon Emery
I recently received a tape with a train theme. There are two cuts on it
by Jon Emery and I like them quite a bit. A search for information on
him turned up a few things, such as playing with Ray Campi, releasing
one CD on Bear Family (listed below), and playing quite a bit in Austin.
Can anyone fill me in on this artist? Is he really a "longtime Bear
Family Records artist" and where has he recorded other than the US?
JON EMERY
-
"TWO SEPERATE HIGHWAYS" C-$12.00
In his first ever US recording, this longtime Bear Family Records
artist shows his roadhouse and rockabilly stuff. ""He Lives Next Door",
"One Compromise Too Many". Fine instrumental on "Naples Waltz".
