Catch-up compilation

I thought I'd put together a playlist of songs from albums I've either overlooked or only played one track from. Sometimes it is difficult to keep up with all the new music I'm sent, sometimes it is too country or more electric than acoustic and at other times I'll listen to an album, not be in the mood for it and forget about it. A case in point is The O's. Listening to the track I've selected here makes me want to go back and give their album another listen. 

Rather than select tracks at random I've gone for the shortest tracks on each album, which I suppose is a bit random but I don't have the time to listen to all these albums from start to finish!

Hope you enjoy this selection. The next edition of the Folk and Acoustic Music Show will be going out on Monday the 1st September at the usual time of 9pm on Acoustic Spectrum Radio.

Acoustic Spectrum playlist 14 July \ Folk by the Oak

Due to me being away on holiday there will only be a couple of shows this month. I was up in Edinburgh at the start of the month and next week I shall be in London. But on the way south I'm going to the Folk by the Oak festival at Hatfield House with Richard Thompson topping the bill supported by Beth Orton and Seth Lakeman. Richard has a habit of bringing wet weather with him whenever he plays at Cropredy and the forecast for this weekend is looking a bit unsettled. So the first half of tonight's show features some of those appearing at the festival. Also on the bill is the Elizabethan Session who I don't have anything by so I've put a link to a video explaining what the project is all about.

Seth Lakeman - Poor Man's Heaven
Beth Orton - Someone's Daughter
Jaywalkers - Lonesome Graveyard
Richard Thompson - Beeswing
Kathryn Tickell - Keelman Ower Land, Farewell to Rothbury, Cat in Coldstream
Salt House - Katie Cruel
Black Dog Hat - Come To Town
The Low Countries - We're All on the Verge of Something
Jo Gillot - Spectacular
Kaela Rowan - Mon Ami
Lady Maisery - The Grey Selkie
Lau - Beer Engineer
