Rosanne Cash's latest disc was inspired by her father (back in 1973, he provided the list of 100 essential American songs that she used build this album), and she has been joined on a few tracks by some guests, including Elvis Costello on the one that opened this program. He followed with one of his early country-influenced tracks, and from there we heard Beachwood Sparks' brand of country/rock into one with more of a driving beat from the Old 97's. An old favorite from the Who managed to ratchet up the intensity even further, which led to Jarvis Cocker rocking out on a tune about a young woman he's come to know followed by the Move introducing themselves to another young lady, and the furious stomp of that one seemed to flow nicely into the Supergrass track that finished up.

It had been a very long time since Slim Harpo made an appearance on LDR, so that was remedied in this set, which began with a couple of tunes from Bob Dylan and the combination of Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield that built upon Harpo's distinctive rhythms. The Rolling Stones covered one of his tune on Exile, but here we heard another from that disc with a similar feel, which led to Beck and a track that always conjures up the Stones whenever I hear it. One from the excellent new Exene Cervenka album shifted the emphasis to acoustic guitar, which is where it pretty much remained with Headless Heroes, a new one from Joe Pug and a tune from the first in a trio of discs that are clearly the best work of Rod Stewart's long career.

The High Llamas began this section with a lovely pastoral tune that was followed by some languid French pop from Bertrand Burgalat that brought in more synthesizers, which paved the way for a favorite from the recent Postmarks disc. A bit of faux lounge music from Girls seemed to flow nicely into an old '60s Swinging London tune from Marianne Faithfull (from her teenage days, before her voice changed). The mood of that one was echoed in the Camera Obscura track that followed, and the Motown-inspired horns on that one were followed by the real thing from the Temptations. Horns continued to supply the hook as Nick Lowe looked back to better days, the Buckinghams tried to pry out the truth and Spoon seemed to be accepting that the relationship was blown apart.

In addition to having a great album title, Kurt Vile's new disc contains a tune that brought to mind an old Velvet Underground number; we heard it here in a live version from the box set that came out back in 1995. An extended track from the new Yo La Tengo disc followed, and the lead guitar on that one fed nicely into a tune from Brian Eno's 1975 masterpiece. From there we heard Air with a wonderfully flowing track from their new disc brought on Bebel Gilberto with the tune that closes her new disc, and also shut the door on this show.

Here's another one from the Who
