Yes friends, after all these years of talking (and posting the occasional clip) about great music I decided to just into the fray and get out a Twang Nation podcast. Why now? Two reasons. I came back from the Americana Music Association Conference with some great experiences and the technological opportunity fell into my lap. there you have it.
How does it stack up with excellent productions like Freight Train Boogie, 9 Bullets or Country Fried Rock ? I’ll leave that up to you dear listener.There’s a lot of great Americana and roots music out there and I hope I am able to cover just a bit more of it to bring you great music. The production is excellent thanks to my friend (and bartender) Franklyn, the “uh” and “um”marred patter between songs is less smooth (Sorry Brett Deter, at least I got you name in there after the song!)but I take the same license I do as a blogger, you get what you pay for. And it’s untimely not about my sterling delivery, it’s about the music. By chance this maiden episode happen to coincide with the 70th birthday of Guy Clark so I’ve included his classic Dublin Blues to end the program.
Best of all, this was fun and I look forward to doing it again soon. I hope you like it and find some great music , and if you like it please leave your comments below and forward it to friends. Most importantly go buy music and get out and see live shows. if you don’t our greatest fears might be realized, great music will go away.

Very excited that you’ll be doing a podcast! Looking forward to some great music.
Is there any way to fast forward or rewind it? I was halfway through and accidentally closed the page and it went back to the beginning with no way (that I can find) to get back to the middle.
aburtch – The player I have installed on the site doesn’t have a function to move to a particular spot. you can right=click on the link and save the mp3 to your machine and listen to it in iTunes to allow that behavior.
Real nice job Baron, great sound and good mix of tunes! Welcome and I look forward to more.. And thanks so much for the mention.
Bill, thanks man, that means a lot.
How Exciting! Good luck with the new endeavor. I will direct some folks your way! XO Kim
