Salty Dog Blues N Roots Podcast

AMULET is back with 24 tracks that wander wherever the music takes us. We start with Damon Fowler, make room for the hill country grit of Cedric Burnside and Alvin Youngblood Hart, and drop in on Little Walter, Jeff Beck, Steve Earle and Bob Dylan along the way.

There’s a strong Australian thread running through this one too: Jeff Lang with Dom Turner, Mark Easton, Nat Allison, Rory Ellis, Nick Barker, Gretta Ziller and Aaron Pollock are all in the mix. New releases sit beside old favourites, with a few turns you might not see coming.

This is on AMULET, something to keep your aura on the positive side!

Fresh cuts and deep grooves — from San Pedro Slim’s back-alley swing to brand new heat from Lecia Louise. A nod to Chris Wilson, some Barnett bite, Neil Young’s timeless riff, and a strong Aussie thread with Lloyd Spiegel, Clayton Doley and The Stomp N Ramblers.

Blues, roots, soul — a bit of grit, a bit of grease… and it all lands hard.

SPARK — turn it up and let it burn.

We open this week with a short tribute to the late John Hammond — a player who stayed true to the roots and never overplayed it. A couple of his tracks to get things underway.

After that, it’s a well-balanced set — a mix of older cuts, newer releases, and a strong Australian showing. You’ll hear Dan Dinnen N Shorty, Julian James N Moonshine State, Jen Mize N Rough N Tumble, Greg Numan N The General Jacksons, Shane O’Mara N Jac Tonks, Shane Pacey, Catch 23 and Van Walker alongside the internationals.

We move through hill country with Junior Kimbrough, some clean Texas swing from Jimmy Vaughan, and a bit of groove from Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. There are also a couple of pre-release tracks worth a listen.

It’s a steady run — blues and roots as you like it!

The LOWDOWN is loaded.

We kick off with Kirk Fletcher and Eric Johanson laying down serious intent. Then we roll through local heat — Shane Pacey, Kara Grainger, Stefan Hauk, The McNaMarr Project, Suzannah Espie — proper homegrown soul in the mix.

There’s grit from Walter Trout, class from John Mayall, texture from Yasmin Williams, and two late-night postcards from Tom Waits before Tom Petty eases us out the back door.

BACKLINE is back for January tone hounds.

We roll from raw modern blues and roots through to the deep catalogue — Eddie Taylor talking big-town truths, Johnny Winter cutting sharp, Jimmie Vaughan riding that groove like he always does.

There’s plenty of local fire running through this set too — Ash Grunwald, Stefan Hauk, Damon Smith, Fiona Boyes with Chris Wilson and Hubert Sumlin, Dan Dinnen N Shorty, Dom Turner with Kim Sinh, and Mia Kelly — all flying the flag with new cuts, live grit and boundary-pushing spirit that still respects the lineage.

Add Bill Frisell bending Marvin Gaye into something new, Violent Femmes kicking the walls in, and Tom Waits reminding us how to hold on — and you’ve got a playlist that moves from backroom blues to late-night confessionals.

This isn’t background music — it’s listening music!

ROOTSTOCK — Another two hours of the best in blues n roots.

No sleigh bells here — just deep roots and honest tone.

This episode digs into Little Walter lineage, Southern soul, gospel fire and late-night grooves — Billy Branch, Jimmy Burns, Blind Boys of Alabama, Curtis Salgado, Neil Young and more. Plenty of love for Australian releases too — Lloyd Spiegel, Stars, The Blow Out, Collard Greens N Gravy and Aaron Pollock stepping up strong.

Roll it out loud, pour something decent, and let the music do the talking.
