Listen above to Folk Show Episode 31 or via Mixcloud here.
In this week’s Folk Show we’re looking mainly to the past although we do have two new releases including a track from Damien O’Kane and Ron Block‘s Banjophony, one of our Featured Albums of the Month (reviewed here), as well as a track from West in the Head, the new album West in the Head from Barbarisms which we also recently reviewed here. There’s also a forthcoming track from Letitia VanSant’s new album Gut it to the Studs (out 27 August – www.letitiavansant.com)
Throughout are a bunch of favourites and some classics as well as a healthy dose of some vintage Greenwich Village courtesy of Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk and more.
