White Walls #8

Hi everyone,

Happy summer! This new episode is full of some relatively new (or at least new to me) music. Once again, there's a mix of all sorts of styles - some acoustic, folksy tunes mixed with a little more rocking ones, alongside some that are just hard to pin down. While there are some long-time favorites (Horse Feathers, Brandi Carlile, Dar Williams), I also included some artists who are pretty new to me. I'm always thrilled to find new music, and even happier when I can share it with you all!

I hope you enjoy the show! Don't forget to check out all the other great shows on SpiritPlants Radio this weekend!

Take care,
DJ Blue

Musical Roots of White Walls

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since my last show, but I think this one is worth the wait. When I was growing up, we only had three radio stations (and no music channels on TV). Two of the three played country music. We listened to the radio all the time, and so now, I look back at country music from that time as definitely playing a part in developing my musical taste. For White Walls #7, I've picked out a number of my favorites (many of which I hadn't heard in years).

While my tastes have definitely gone in all sorts of different directions, these songs remind me that songs from one's youth will always hold a special spot. I hope you all enjoy! Be sure to check out SpiritPlants Radio for the schedule, playlist, and archives. While you're there, be sure to check out some of the other great shows!

New year, new episode

Hi everyone,

What better way to start the new year than with a new episode of White Walls? Episode #6 is another fun mix of all kinds of tunes - from bits of bluegrass to jazz, americana and folk. I've once again tried to bring you all an hour of just plain ole good music, and I think it's a truly delightful mix - eclectic in the best sense of the word. Visit SpiritPlants Radio for the playlist and schedule, and be sure to check out all the other good shows while you're there :)

Here's to the start of another good year for us all!

White Walls #5

Hello all,

What better way to spend a stormy weekend than to listen to some good radio? :) This weekend, in addition to all the other great shows on SpiritPlants Radio, tune in to White Walls #5! With a little rock (including the great Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band), a little electronica (from Sufjan Stevens' most recent album), and a lot of fiddles from all sorts of folks, I think it's a good show, and I hope you'll all enjoy! You can find the schedule and playlist at SpiritPlants Radio.

Take care,

I'm happy to let everyone know that White Walls #4 will air on SpiritPlants Radio this Memorial Day weekend! This episode features some favorites of mine from artists you've heard on White Walls before: Brandi Carlile, Patty Griffin, Chris Pureka, and others.

It's a good show, and I hope you all enjoy it! Visit SpiritPlants Radio for the schedule, playlists, and archives of past episodes, and check out all the other great shows there too :)

Enjoy!

The Acoustic Show!

Hello everyone,

This weekend (March 26-27), White Walls #3 will debut on SpiritPlants Radio. I wanted to do a show of some of my favorite songs done acoustically, and this is it! It features live performances, album cuts, and b-sides. I always like it when an artist puts out an acoustic version of a famous song that sounds different from the original version, so I tried to include a few of those, too.

Visit SpiritPlants Radio for the schedule and playlist, as well as archives of my first two shows. I hope you all enjoy!

It contains a little country, a bit of gospel, a sprinkle of grunge, and a hearty mix of folk, indie, and rock. The playlist and schedule will be available at SpiritPlants Radio this weekend.  I hope you all enjoy!
