Well I know this is long overdue, and fall is pretty much over so I just called it fall/winter (this is still the 4th mix of the year, so settle down!). This one…it being winter and all…is a little more on the mellow side, not mellow like those weak christmas interpretations that are raping everyone’s earholes right now, but mellow in a “not blasting your earholes open” kind of way. Lot’s of throwbacks to folk rock from the 70’s such as The Moondoggies, Ray Lamontagne and Truth and Salvage Company. I love the hell out of this mix, so I hope you guys do too. Dig the new streaming option at the bottom…
EDIT: So this mix has been described as being heavy on the “pyschedelic country”, or my favorite description “stoner country” by one of my fellow bloggers, and I love that title. If there can be stoner rock, there can certainly be stoner country.
The Moondoggies – It’s a Shame, It’s a Pity
Dig that 70’s Neil Young-ish country rock sound. Off their latest: Tidelands

I have not yet found the time to listen to it, but your one-liners to every song sound like a great combination of a 2010′ best of and the mentioned psych-country
Sweet, sweet christmas to you!

Really like what you’re doing here. We’re a Community Radio Station (no adverts, no playlists) based in Exeter, Devon and we have an Americana night coming up in March with Malcolm Holcombe, Thee Horse, Julian Piper and Chris Billings and I was just wondering if you minded me snagging one of your images for the Facebook invite?
No worries if not…
Regards,
