Another Podwireless lock-in extra. Twenty hardcore classic tracks of the great West African women singers and their musicians, from lo-fi local cassettes found in the markets in the 1980s and ’90s. Really, local music from out there! (Warning! Sensitive folkies used to manicured digital recordings by polite UK folkettes and musicians with conservatory training may be in for a bit of a shock here. These aren’t. You may find the Marmite theory at play. Me, I love my Marmite, and hopefully many of you will too!). More details at podwireless.com

Particular thanks to the Origin Jazz Library re-issue LPs of the early 1960s which, after the legendary Folkways Harry Smith anthology, opened the ears of my generation to all this music. Really! The Country Blues.

We may have been forced to leave the European Union a few weeks ago, but many of us will continue to regret that and hope that one day we’ll come together again. Over the past 25+ years, I compiled a series of 70+ free albums for the readers of fRoots magazine (RIP) to showcase the best new roots music out there. Hundreds of great tracks from around mainland Europe were included amongst all the other music from here and the rest of the planet, and from them I’ve made a continent and decades-spanning selection of favourites – 57 tracks from 24 countries, 4 hours of amazing music split into two parts (this is Part 2). They’re among the reasons to still feel part of Europe and hold it in our hearts. Love thy neighbours! Love their music!

We may have been forced to leave the European Union a few weeks ago, but many of us will continue to regret that and hope that one day we’ll come together again. Over the past 25+ years, I compiled a series of 70+ free albums for the readers of fRoots magazine (RIP) to showcase the best new roots music out there. Hundreds of great tracks from around mainland Europe were included amongst all the other music from here and the rest of the planet, and from them I’ve made a continent and decades-spanning selection of favourites – 57 tracks from 24 countries, 4 hours of amazing music split into two parts (this is Part 1). They’re among the reasons to still feel part of Europe and hold it in our hearts. Love thy neighbours! Love their music!
