Brother Ben Sits In Ben was visiting us and we recorded a podcast in the living room. We begin with "Trouble Blues" (aka "Troubles Ain't Nothin' But the Blues Stay Away From Me"), a medley of songs originally done by the Delmore Brothers (and Lonnie Johnson, too). Next it's Andy Razaf's "Handyman" and Trio's ("Da Da Da") "Out in the Streets." We close with two originals: first Ben Wachtel's "All Right Blues," then the Wachtel-Panshin-Wachtel song "Ancient Whispers." Listen now: Subscribe: Download: RFE Podcast #15

Labor of Love We're into double digits here at Radio Free Earth, with our tenth and now eleventh podcasts. Razvan Mitulescu has been tuning in to the show, and he sent me the original version of a song we recorded together in Romania in 1997, our theme song, "Labor of Love." (Razvan's art can be viewed at his web site.) We move from there to "Well Well Well," and "Vol Vist Du Gaily Star." Then there's a song from our And Don't Forget It! CD, "Wanderin' in the Dark." We conclude with "Maybe" and "Captain Spacegirl." And don't forget to let us know what you think with an email or a comment below. Enjoy! Listen now: Subscribe: Download: RFE Podcast #11

Luv Is Just a 3-Letter Word We're dipping into the archives this week to bring you a particularly varied program. Our theme song, "Labor of Love," is accompanied by Andrew Dickinson on the flute. He also plays bass on "Black Bottom Blues." Then there's "River at Midnight" with Ian Coss on accordion, "Operation Cakewalk" from our Fortune and Death CD, and "This Moment" from a gig in Brattleboro, Vermont. We conclude the show with "I Want a Roof Over My Head" with Vince Snyder on mandolin and "Waltze of the Tennis Players." Listen now: Subscribe: Download: RFE Podcast #10

It's Our Problem Most of the songs on this podcast were recorded live a few weeks ago. Dan Wallack has joined the band on bass, and Jordy's taking his new cajon out for a spin for the first time. "Shauri Yako" is Zulu for "it's your problem" or "it's up to you." The program proceeds with Lonnie (my guitar hero!) Johnson's "Falling Rain Blues" and then Kim doing "Lookin' for Answers" by Susan Tedeschi. We also do "Diggin' a Hole," which I wrote with Alex Panshin, "Like a Hurricane" from our Available Light CD, and we end with our most original arrangement of half a dozen or more old hokum tunes, "Keep on Truckin'."
