No Joe Strummer and the 101ers I'm afraid but what better way to start the Shuffle's second century than a Country Death Song.
The Violent Femmes do the honours with a song from their 1984 album Hallowed Ground but in this case taken from the Rough Trade compilation Country 1. You really should already have this album but if not you know what to do.
If that is too much for you on a Saturday morning here is Northern Irish born but Glasgow based singer songwriter Martha Ffion with the title track from her 2020 album Nights to Forget - available here
Very pleasant as I 'm sure you'll agree so let's follow it up with something equally pleasant Hey Girl by the wonderful Alice Clark.
Another mixed bag awaits next Saturday
Violent Femmes - Country Death Songs

ReplyDeleteLove Hey Girl - really perked me up of a morning.
ReplyDeleteThe last time you featured Alice Clark I bought the album immediately. Gonna spin that one today. - Brian
