Howdy,

I've been catching up on a backlog of new arrivals at Taproot Radio this
past week. The good folks at Bloodshot records have released a 2 CD set
continuing their Old Town School series in which current artisits
re-interprest folk songs. I've also been enjoying the latest Numero Group
release in their Eccentric Soul series. Unbelieveably funky soul from the
late 60's early 70's. On the rock and roll side, I've been enjoying some
roots rock revivial from a Canadian duo who calls themselves Kick In The
Eye. All these and more are going into rotation this week.

The full rotation for this week is online
<http://www.taprootradio.com/2007/08/taproot-radio-news-122.html>at the web
site.

Dig Deep,
Calvin
