"I'll go crazy," says James Brown. "Caldonia, what makes your big head so hard?" ask Muddy Waters and Willie Nelson. "She's just a girl," promises Shinehead. Oh, and Redbird ditches nuance: "I gotta get drunk." Amen.

The Ten Dollar Radio Show unearths songs from Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, the Jayhawks and others recorded before any of them were old enough to drive. Almost.

An offering of Chicago blues, Louis Armstrong playing W.C. Handy and Kelly Hofschneider, whose poster is paraphrased above, sitting in for the last half-hour.

Our technical nightmare continues. Posted here is just the first hour of last Sunday's sleep-centric show. The gods of nobs and dials have not smiled upon us lately. Nontheless, the first hour was a good one. When Hour Two finally wakes up, we'll post it, too.

Howlin' Wolf howls, Eddie Hazel dreams, Leona Naess learns as she goes and Jason Isbell chooses the devil as his running mate.

Pete returns and brings with him a list of ditties from upstate cities. Also, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Tom Waits whistle past the graveyard, Axton Kincaid serves up walking papers and Silk Satin—who knew she was a Ten Dollar fan?—shills for the show.

With Pete away, Ned recruits an old friend to fill in, talk failed band names, play guitar and sing. Listen for Gabe's original songs around the start of the second hour.

Wynonie Harris opens the show with a salutation to authority, we travel the Green, Green Rocky Road (thrice) and Lucinda Williams' record label gives us a peek at her new record.

This week's show features the Ten Dollar debut of Lobster Duey and a five-song homage to potatoes.

Welcome to the Ten Dollar Radio Show's new podcast site. A few bugs remain, but we're squashing as many as we can. Meantime, enjoy the music. Oh, and the new Calexico album is wicked good.
