Then I premiered the new single “Chalk Lines” from Lo-Fi Resistance, the brainchild of local guitarist Randy McStine.

For the rest of the show, I played two tracks from new CDs I’ve received over the past couple of months and haven’t had time to play because of interviews and etc.
“Welcome to Pittsburgh” and “Down, Down, Down” – River City Extension
“Lazarus” and “Coochy Coochy” – Ray Wylie Hubbard
“Letters from My Lonelier Self” and “City Starts to Bloom” – Amber Rubarth
“Gotta Have Love” and “Breathe Deep” – Tim Snider
“Spin a Yarn” and “Mockingbird” – K.C. Clifford
“Kaleidoscope” and “Move” – jENNiNGS (a.k.a. Mary Jennings)
“Hey My My” and “Million Dollar Smile” – Sweet Wednesday
“Working in the Coal Mine” and “Mind Your Own Business” – Chris Smither

Then I played a couple of tracks from the late, great Michael Burks, a bluesman who died May 6:
“Empty Promises” and “Ashes in My Ashtray”

Finally capped it off with the Kinky Thought of the week, a tribute to all the WHRW DJs who are leaving us this semester:
“Around the Dial” by the Kinks

Next Tuesday at 7, I’ll chat with Broome Community College professor Mary Donnelly about her new biography of cult power-pop band Shoes, and we’ll debut a track (or two) from the new Shoes album. Then I’m sure I’ll find more music to play to round off the rest of the time. Remember, you can follow the show on Facebook:
