MUSIC NEWSLETTER Thursday 07 February 2013 The Daily Planet With Lucky Oceans Monday to Thursday 11:00pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/dailyplanet/ All next week, Lucky will be taking us through the new Richard Thompson album. Some have called Richard Thompson's new album, Electric, his best since the 1990s. He's in mostly electric, power trio mode, with his touring band - drummer Michael Jerome, bassist Taras Prodaniuk and a great new bunch of songs and solos. A master of both soloing and song writing, Richard integrates the two ingeniously. It's quintessentially English folk rock and the smaller line-up has him pushing his guitar and voice harder than usual. It was recorded at Buddy Miller's house in Nashville, more to record 'in a house' than to make a Nashville album although Nashville maestros Alison Krauss, Stuart Duncan and Buddy himself make discreet appearances. The Inside Sleeve Robbie Buck Monday to Friday 3pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/insidesleeve/ Tuesday afternoon hear US producer Hal Willner, speaking about his experience working on the new Rogues Gallery compilation. A release that features Tom Waits, Keith Richards, Patti Smith, Shane MacGowan and a host of other luminaries, all delivering rousing renditions of age old sea shanties. The Live Set With Alice Keath Friday 8pm Repeated: Sunday 4pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/liveset/ Sonic Sessions with Paul Kelly: Part 1 Since Lucky Oceans established the Sonic Sessions in 2007, he's always wanted to do a show with Paul Kelly but it took until late last year for their schedules to finally coincide. Once the show was announced, the tickets sold out in hours and a few hundred lucky listeners crowded into the quadrangle of the Fremantle Art Centre to hear Paul, Lucky and surprise guest Alan Pigram play two sets of Paul's songs. In the first of a two-part broadcast, Paul & Lucky reminisce about playing together in exotic and unusual places all over the world, and talk about the background of songs from Paul's latest album "Spring and Fall". The Music Show With Andrew Ford Saturday 10am Repeated: Saturday 10pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/musicshow/ There's a lot more to Etta James than her most famous hit 'At Last'. Vika Bull is telling all in her upcoming show 'At Last, The Etta James Story' and we get a preview on this week's show. The Rhythm Divine With Geoff Wood Sunday 6am Repeated: Monday 1am  http://www.abc.net.au/rn/rhythmdivine/ The borderlands of belief We celebrate Lunar New Year with music and prayer reflecting the ancient ritual basis to the festivities from two related Asian cultures who share a common Buddhist heritage, China and Japan. Sound Quality With Tim Ritchie Friday 11:00pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/soundquality/ Krautrock from Germany - it's about time (again) Ulrich Schnauss was born in the late '77 in Kiel, northern Germany. He started to make music but couldn't create a stir, so in his late teens he moved to Berlin and it all started to go right. We'll hear from his latest album as well as soundart; Norwegian beats, field recordings and wonderful local artists. The Weekend Planet With Doug Spencer Sunday 10pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/weekendplanet/ Andrew Cyrille and Haitian fascination: 'Route De Freres Andrew Cyrille is a legendary, much-recorded drummer butRoute de Frères lovingly addresses something of which many admirers are unaware: his connection to Haiti. Cyrille was born and raised in New York, but to parents from Haiti - a land their son first visited as a seven year old, more than sixty years ago. Route de Frères is the first album from his Haitian Fascination. It is beautiful and truly unique. Into The Music Saturday 4pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/intothemusic/ Get Up Stand Up part 2 Music and politics can be a force to be reckoned with and songwriters often ignite the spirit and create soundtracks for generations of change-makers. But where do politics and song writing intersect? Do political songs drive change or do they just document the times in which they're written? An impressive line-up of songwriters gathered at the Woodford festival over Xmas and New Year last year and discussed these and other questions with forum host Sandy McCutcheon. On stage for the 2nd session of Get Up Stand Up were John Butler, Alesa Lajana, Penelope Swales, Shane Howard, Juice Media Rap News. RareCollections Sunday 9.30pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/rarecollections/ Soulful Sue Barker Over three days in 1976 in Adelaide, Sue Barker and group The Onions recorded a classic album that contains some of the most soulful grooves ever put down in an Australian studio. Sadly a combination of poor promotion, lack of finance and personal priorities meant that the record never truly got the attention it deserved. This episode seeks to play some part in rectifying that situation and features samples from the album and interviews with Sue Barker and Onions bass player Geoff Kluke.
