This week’s featured artists provide plenty of eccentricity.
The Captain remembers bemusedly how Tom Houston of Tillicoultry once persuaded him to record a story about yeti gaiters. It’d be fair to say that Tom comes up with words and ideas that no one else does. He’s this week’s featured artist.
The featured songwriter is Shel Silverstein, which gives us an excuse to find some hilarious snippets among some of the more famous songs. Wit and singularity abound.
The featured archive album features the outlandish, eclectic guitar playing of Davey Graham, encompassing worlds of music in his backing to this set of folk songs.
In this line-up Shirley Collins is a bastion of normality.
Listen here on the website from 7pm on Sunday.
