Muddy Boots

Series produced by tenali hrenak

Muddy Boots will wander where sneakers never will, moving on the back roads through the backwoods and to the forgotten cracks of our imagination. Tune in to hear 1920s &’30s jazz, blues, ethnic and hillbilly, field recordings from the campfire, the random whimsical, and the rare and not-so-rare.

Muddy Boots will wander where sneakers never will, moving on the back roads through the backwoods and to the forgotten cracks of our imagination. Tune in to hear 1920s &’30s jazz, blues, ethnic and hillbilly, field recordings from the campfire, the random whimsical, and the rare and not-so-rare.

With that said, Muddy Boots attempts to create a patchwork of sound and song; an aural mishmash is what I like to call it. Intertwined throughout are artisanal and anachronistic cuts, film clips, one-off sounds, folktales, cut-ups, literary snippets and other rarities. The intent is to impart a loose-knit story within the playlist in order to provide the listener with the opportunity to marvel at what musician Robin Williamson refers to as “the sheer unspeakable strangeness of being here at all.”

There’s something to be said for radio – streaming or the good ol’ radio waves – being a vehicle to journey into a sonic wonderland. Lend an ear and embark on a voyage. . . Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay!!

Show to be featured and aired on The Other Side on KVMR FM Nevada City. The Other Side airs every Tuesday 8-10pm, hosted & produced by Mikail Graham. I'm a featured guest host, and am thankful for Mikail offering as much air time to me as he does.

Funding was received from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and KVMR. Hide full description
