All our favorite Twangy women on Viking Twang July 21

Viking Twang Show 48, July 1, 2015
Good morning, welcome to Viking Twang. My name is Randy Black. Considering we bill ourselves as a twangy show, we haven’t been that hillbilly lately. We’re going to make up for that this week with a show that features women country and bluegrass musicians, including plenty of locals. We’ll start with Connie Smith:

1 – Turkey Red; W.C. Beck and the Portland Country Underground.
2 – I’ll Come Running; Connie Smith. From 1967, one of her four top ten songs that year.
3 – Ain’t the Buying Kind; Deadwood Revival. Our favorites from the Olympic Peninsula; written
by Kim Trenarry and played with her husband Jason Mogi.
4 – I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again; Crooked Jades. By the great San Francisco band; a Roscoe
Holcombe song sung by Martha Hawthorne and Lisa Berman.
5 – Passing Train; Little Sue. From her 1997 debut album, Chimneys and Fishes.
6 – Hey Jingo; Mad Hattie. That’s Deanna Settlemeyer’s band from 2000; she now performs with
her husband Doug Sammons, performing around town now as Doug & Dee’s Hot Lovin’ Babies.

Second Set

version of a traditional song.

Travelers’ 2002 album, Livin’ Reeltime, Thinkin’ Old Time.
