Future Clouds and Radar "The Mortal" We're starting this episode of Radio Without Borders with music that The New Yorker once described as "sprawling orchestral art rock." A bit dramatic, perhaps, but there is something wonderfully expansive and experimental about Austin quartet Future Clouds and Radar. They paid a visit to KUT's Studio 1A not too long after the release of their 2008 album Peoria. San Saba County "Winter Solstice" Here's some great music by self-proclaimed "post-alt. country" quintet, San Saba County.

Wild Sweet Orange "Land of No Return" Birmingham, Alabama rock quartet Wild Sweet Orange is led by vocalist and songwriter Preston Lovinggood. In describing his band's debut CD, We Have Cause To Be Uneasy, Lovinggood doesn't shy away from putting out all the bare-bone emotions on the table. It starts out quietly at times, but the energy soon becomes completely unrestrained and unapologetically intensified. He says the music tells the story of who they are, and where they've come from, personal and vulnerable, but cathartic and essential in Lovinggood's songwriting.

Ana Egge "Bully of New York" Let's start out with a track by Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Ana Egge. She is the very embodiment of simplicity and eloquence. Rather than overanalyzing and getting mired in complexities, it seems as though Egge goes for a more instinctual approach. Her music is lovely, and direct. She gave a live performance in KUT's Studio 1A in February 2009. Rick Broussard "Sorry For You" Austin musician Rick Broussard is best known for his work with country and roots rockers Two Hoots and A Holler, which he formed in the early ‘80s.

James McMurtry "Bayou Tortous" This week, we start off our show with not only an Austin favorite, but a nationally and internationally-admired artist, James McMurtry. At the beginning of 2009, he started out the year with a bang by touring Europe for the first time, in support of his album Just Us Kids. He was joined by two other musical legends, Jon Dee Graham and Ian McLagan, the latter of whom you may remember from The Small Faces. Both McLagan and Graham also played on McMurtry's album. This is taken from an April 2008 performance McMurtry gave in KUT's Studio 1A.

George Ensle "It's A Texas Thang" We begin this week's program with some Texas-style music from George Ensle. Ensle got his start writing songs and performing at the Sand Mountain Coffeehouse in Houston back in the 60's, and played with people like Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Townes Van Zandt. It's pretty cool to know that Townes Van Zandt considered Ensle one of his most influential performers. Grand Champeen "Different Sort of Story" This next Austin quartet is known for some great-hooks rock ‘n' roll and tight playing. Grand Champeen is very solid, very melodic, but with a sort of punk aesthetic to their style, and a bit of country twang in there, too, from time to time.

George Ensle "It's A Texas Thang" We begin this week's program with some Texas-style music from George Ensle. Ensle got his start writing songs and performing at the Sand Mountain Coffeehouse in Houston back in the 60's, and played with people like Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Townes Van Zandt. It's pretty cool to know that Townes Van Zandt considered Ensle one of his most influential performers.

He'd been trying to get a full band together but admits that he isn't really sure what that's supposed to sound like, so he pretty much goes on his own. This is from a performance he gave in KUT's Studio 1A in April 2007. Ferraby Lionheart "Small Planet" Here's something that struck me about musician and singer Ferraby Lionheart. In the artist biography on his website, he says he wants to be like actor Gene Wilder. Being a Gene Wilder fan myself, I thought that was pretty cool.

Peter Rowan "Restless Grave" Before his successful solo career, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Peter Rowan got his start with the Bluegrass Boys as a lead vocalist, guitarist and contributing songwriter in the 70's. This gave Rowan the opportunity to work with the artist regarded as the founding father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe. This song is taken from Rowan's April 2008 performance in KUT's Studio 1A. Mark Olson "Poor Michael's Boat" Onward to some Americana by the founding member of The Jayhawks, Mark Olson. Olson's had a solo career since leaving the band in 1996, but for his 2007 album, The Salvation Blues, he wrote three songs with former Jayhawks band mate and writing partner, Gary Louris.

Maryann Price "Slow Dancin'" This is a lovely track to begin this week's program, performed by Austin-based artist Maryann Price. This sultry-voiced singer got her start when she moved to San Francisco in 1969, and was invited to join Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks as a vocalist. Later, she had stints as a backing vocalist for The Kinks, and as a singer for Asleep At the Wheel. She finally made her way to Austin in 1988, and has been an extremely busy singer ever since. From country to jazz, swing to slow ballads, she does it all.
