Over the course of the following week, K-Dirt listeners can get a big ol' helping of Dave Alvin. One of America's finest songwriters and guitarists, Dave has blazed an independent & very prolific trail from Downey, CA to 2011 and your mind, soul & ears.
Celebrating his latest release, "11/11", we'll be laying down some of the gut buckety blues material from the album on The Grapevine which can be heard live on Thursday from 7 to 8 pm, with repeats over the course of the next week. Then, while I am sitting in for Doug Deep on The Electric Compost Heap on Wednesday, November 23rd from 7 to 9 pm, we will dig a little more into Dave's "songwriter" side of things with more excellent sounds from "11/11" and his past work...especially his masterpiece, "King of California". Last, but not least, you can count on hearing some choice cuts from the legendary band he started with his brother Phil, The Blasters, on both broadcasts.
So check the K-Dirt programming schedule for The Grapevine and Electric Compost Heap broadcast times and join us for a good listen to the music of California's own Dave Alvin.
Here's a taste of what is in store:
