This week's Album of the Week is:

DIAMONDS & RUST - 1975 - JOAN BAEZ

Diamonds & Rust is the sixteenth studio album (and eighteenth overall) by American singer-songwriter Joan Baez, released in 1975.
The album covered songs written or played by Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, The Allman Brothers, Jackson Browne and John Prine.

Diamonds & Rust, however, also contains a number of her own compositions, including the title track, a distinctive song written about Bob Dylan, which has been covered by various other artists.

Ms. Baez's most successful album, artistically and commercially... and she recorded it on her own terms and direction.

Joan Baez uses her talent with great versatility on this album. She presents songs of several genres successfully.
The arrangements, not very daring but straightforward, are an excellent fit for the material involved.
The vocals are, as you would expect, inspiring and practically flawless.

Four of the songs were written by Joan.
The album opens with her folk-rock masterpiece, "Diamonds & Rust", a song that relates a slice of Baez/Dylan history; it never fails to move me.
There are two very quirky songs that she wrote. "Children And All That Jazz" is a pop song that defies classification, and "Dida" is a s**t duet with another folk-rock goddess, Joni Mitchell.

Other tracks include two country/folk numbers, "Fountain Of Sorrow" and "Blue Sky"; a soul cover, "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer"; a Dylan cover, "Simple Twist Of Fate", in which she does a good (and funny!) Dylan impression; two ballads of loneliness and heartache, "Hello In There" and "Jesse"; and a medley of traditional old songs, "I Dream Of Jeannie" and "Danny Boy".

I must comment on the album cover.
It is the best representation of Joan that I have ever seen.
She looks beautiful and warm, and at the same time larger than life. She calls to mind the "Mona Lisa".
The "Madonna".
The "Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands".

THE ACOUSTIC CAFE SHOW - Friday 16th February, 2024 at 9am.

Time for THE LATEST PLAYLIST for this week's show on the Acoustic Cafe Show on 104.7 2SEA FM and STREAMING LIVE on the Radio Garden, IHeart and the Community Radio Plus app.

Listen in on Friday morning from 9 til 12, and if you can't tune in catch a repeat program on Sunday morning from 10am.

Three hours of the best of the old,with a mix of the new from around the world.

Our fabulous Album of the Week is from Billy Strings an American guitarist and bluegrass musician.
His album Home won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2021.

BILLY STRINGS - 2019 - HOME

Home is the fourth studio album by American bluegrass musician Billy Strings, following Turmoil & Tinfoil and preceding Renewal.

Released on September 27, 2019, the album stayed on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums chart for 77 weeks, peaking at number one and being the first studio album by Billy Strings to do so.
The album was titled Home simply for the fact that Strings was starting to "feel at home" in his Nashville residence and in the music industry at the time of the album's release.

The album earned Strings his first Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in March 2021.

Billy Strings has been hailed as the future of bluegrass, transcending tradition and genre with his high velocity, flat-picking guitar technique and intense, confessional songwriting.

Home, Strings' remarkable second studio album, is undoubtedly the Nashville-based artist's bravest excursion thus far, reshaping bluegrass into his own exceptional form, completely rewiring the aesthetic with elements of punk, country, folk rock, and genuine psychedelic exploration to fashion something altogether original and all his own.

From the jump, Strings has infused bluegrass with his own experiences and inspirations, adopting traditional sonic and lyrical idioms to confront contemporary social truths.
Songs like "Away From The Mire" and the remarkable title track are rooted in the past but as now as next week, animated by electrifying musicianship, inventive production, and Strings' irrepressible ambition.

HOME marks a landmark on this constantly moving artist's ongoing creative journey, it's fearless songs and freewheeling approach recasting string-based American music in his own inimitable image.

THE ACOUSTIC CAFE SHOW with Graeme Wykes.

Listen in on Friday morning from 9 til 12, and if you can't tune in catch a repeat program on Sunday morning from 10am.

Three hours of the best of the old,with a mix of the new from around the world.

This week's Album of the Week is Simon & Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - bought to you by ACORA Eden.

PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME - 1966 - SIMON & GARFUNKEL

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is the third studio album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel.
The album was released on October 24, 1966, in the U.S. by Columbia Records.
Following the success of the re-release of their debut single "The Sound of Silence", Simon & Garfunkel regrouped after a time apart while Columbia issued their second album, a rushed collection titled Sounds of Silence.
For their third album, the duo spent almost three months in the studio working on instrumentation and production.

The album largely consists of acoustic pieces that were mostly written during Paul Simon's period in England the previous year, including some songs recycled from his debut solo record, The Paul Simon Songbook.
The album includes the Garfunkel-led piece "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her", as well as "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night", a combination of news reports of the day (the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the death of comedian Lenny Bruce), and the Christmas carol "Silent Night".

Many critics consider it a breakthrough in recording for the duo, and one of their best efforts.
"Homeward Bound" had already been a top five hit in numerous countries and "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" performed similarly. The album peaked at number four on the Billboard Pop Album Chart and was eventually certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
In 1999, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Time for THE LATEST PLAYLIST for this week's show on the Acoustic Cafe Show on 104.7 2SEA FM and STREAMING LIVE on the Radio Garden, IHeart and the Community Radio Plus app.

Our Album of the Week is a beauty.
This week I feature:

THE FLYING EMUS - 1987 - THIS TOWN

This Town is the second studio album by Australian country/blues group, Flying Emus.
It was released in September 1987.

The Flying Emus were one of Australia’s leading bluegrass bands from the late 1980’s.
Several on the band members played in the Slim Dusty band and the Emus were formed during a six-year period when Slim Dusty had stopped touring.

Their popularity led them to a range of radio and television appearances and by 1988 the group had picked up a prized ARIA Music Award for Best Country Album for their album This Town.

The Flying Emus also won CMAA Country Music Awards in 1986 (Instrumental of the Year and Vocal Group or Duo of the Year), 1987 (Instrumental of the Year and Vocal Group or Duo of the Year).

At the 1988 CMAA awards the group won Instrumental of the Year for the third consecutive year with the track "Jackaroo", and secured another Vocal Group of the Year for "Auctioneer".

The Emus mainstay consisted of Mike Kerin on fiddle, Ian Simpson on banjo and guitar, John Kane on guitar and mandolin, Genni Kane lead vocals and guitar.

They disbanded in 1990.

Also we will catch up with local talent: Annie Thompson, Daniel Champange, The Chorduroys, Melanie Horsnell, Alan Noble & the PBGB, and a new one from Moruya (It's close enough!) the very talented Sam Flecther.

Now On – THE RECOVERY ROOM with GRAEME WYKES.

While Hanns is on sick leave from Two Up Wednesday – the Big G. will be in “The ReCOVERy Room” from 8-11am playing a great mix of covers to kick start your Wednesday morning.

The aim is to play you’re one of the most underrated genres in Music.

I will be playing songs that you thought were the original, that are better than the original, recorded before the successful cover version, and covers that I think are better than the original.

All this and more – on 2SEA Southern Community Radio on104.7FM, and STREAMING AROUND THE WORLD on IHeart, Radio Garden, and the Community Radio Plus App.

In popular music, a cover version, cover song, remake, revival, or simply cover is a new performance or recording by a musician other than the original performer or composer of the song.
Originally, it referred to a version of a song released around the same time as the original in order to compete with it.
Now, it refers to any subsequent version performed after the original.

On occasion, a cover can become more popular than the original, for instance Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" became the standard, and Dylan even adjusted his performance style closer to the Hendrix version.

Johnny Cash's 2002 cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails is another example of the cover version eclipsing the original.

Besides these, Elvis Presley's version of Carl Perkins' original "Blue Suede Shoes", Santana's 1970 version of Peter Green's and Fleetwood Mac's 1968 "Black Magic Woman", Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Michael Jackson's version of Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Behind the Mask", Whitney Houston's versions of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" and of George Benson's "The Greatest Love of All", Nirvana's version of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World", Gary Jules's version of Tears for Fears's "Mad World", Glenn Medeiros's version of George Benson's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You", Lenny Kravitz's version of The Guess Who's "American Woman", Soft Cell's version of Gloria Jones's "Tainted Love", They Might Be Giants' version of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" by The Four Lads, Darius Rucker's version of Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel" and Sinéad O'Connor's version of "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Prince, are songs where the cover was more successful than the original.

THE ACOUSTIC CAFE SHOW - 19/01/2024

2SEA and the BENDIGO BANK, PAMBULA -PRIME CORPORATE SPONSORS & COMMUNITY PARTNER.

THE ACOUSTIC CAFE SHOW with Graeme Wykes - Time for our latest PLAYLIST for the Acoustic Cafe Show - on-air every Friday from 9am til 12 on 104.7 2SEA FM, and on repeat SUNDAY from 9am.

BE GREAT IF YOU COULD TUNE IN!
And you can STREAM IT on the IHEART, Radio Garden, and the new and improved Community Radio Plus apps.

The Album of the Week is is a long out of print classic from Phoebe Snow:

PHOEBE SNOW - 1974 - PHOEBE SNOW

Phoebe Snow was an American roots music singer-songwriter and guitarist, known for her hit 1974 and 1975 songs "Poetry Man" and "Harpo's Blues", and her credited guest vocals backing Paul Simon on "Gone at Last".

She was described by The New York Times as a "contralto grounded in a bluesy growl and capable of sweeping over four octaves."

Snow experienced success in Australia in the late 1970s and early 1980s with five top 100 albums and numerous popular singles.

Phoebe Snow is no longer a well known name but in the early 1970s she wrote some of the finest and most poetic songs of anyone in the business.
Harpo's Blues, with the wonderful opening line: 'I wish I was a willow' and its quotes from Shakespeare: 'I strut and fret my hour upon the stage', must be right up there with Dylan.
So too the poignant, 'Poetry Man'.
She sang these songs with a distinctive voice which was her own creation and she was backed by some of the best West Coast musicians of the period including the tenor sax player Zoot Sims.

I first bought this album in it's release year.
As was my usual bent back then I bought this album not knowing who Pheobe was. It was one of the best blind purchases I have ever made in music.
Not only was it "fresh" sounding in it's approach, it was Pheobe's phenominal voice that grabbed me and held me in it's sometimes intimate caress.
It was the sweetest love punch ever to my ears.
I think it was rare then for a debut to be so well produced and realised by the artist(s) that any follow up was going to be full of expectations from her fans and very hard to pull off.

Every song on this album is a winner and none seem out of place from track one to the end.
I can fully recommend this album.

The Album of the Week is:

DONOVAN- 1965 - WHAT'S BIN DIN AND WHAT'S BIN HID

Donovan, is a Scottish musician, songwriter and record producer. He emerged from the British folk scene in early 1965, and subsequently scored multiple international hit singles and albums during the late 1960s.
His work became emblematic of the flower power era with its blend of folk, pop, psychedelic rock, and jazz stylings.

What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid is this debut album released in the UK four days after his nineteenth birthday on 14 May 1965.

In late 1964, Peter Eden and Geoff Stephens offered Donovan a recording contract with Pye Records in the UK.
Donovan had performed around Britain and had become well known in British folk circles before his record contract.
His 1964 demo tapes (released as Sixty Four in 2004) show a great resemblance to both Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, which probably prompted the "British answer to Bob Dylan" press line that was subsequently released.
What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid is notable because it captures Donovan at a point where his style and vision were starting to diverge significantly from those of Guthrie and Dylan.

The music primarily consists of Donovan singing and playing mouth harp and acoustic guitar, much like his live performances of the time.

One of the most remarkable things about this album it is the sheer scope of the artist's talent.
Donovan manages to cover a variety of styles, from the poetic and beautifully romantic "Catch the Wind," to the jug-band style of "Keep on Truckin'" and the bluesy traditional folk song "You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond."
Donovan's writing is at its finest here.

I enjoy the romantic songs the best. "Josie," "Catch the Wind" and "Ramblin' Boy" are all simple but delicately expressive folk songs.
It's amazing what beauty can come out of three chords and one scale.

"Colours" is a classic Donovan song.
The lyrics are relatively simple but somehow Donovan is able to inject powerful meaning into a few words and leave the listener pondering the meaning of "yellow" and "blue."

A great introduction to the early folk side of a talented songwriter.

Also we will catch up with local talent: Michael Menager, Kara Coen, Anactoria, Jane E, Matt Prep, and Nikea Brooks-Hayes & Dre Wicks.

Three hours of the best of the old,with a mix of the new from around the world.

This week I feature a REWIND ACOUSTIC CAFE SPECIAL (A program that was first aired back in July 2022), with an album that featured Richard Havens (January 21, 1941 – April 22, 2013) who was an American Folk Singer-Songwriter and Guitarist.

Our fabulous Album of the Week is from Richie Havens, who is best known for his opening performance at the historic 1969 Woodstock festival. -

RICHIE HAVENS - 1966 - MIXED BAG

Richard Havens was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.
His music encompassed elements of folk, soul, and rhythm and blues.
He had an intense and rhythmic guitar style (often in open tunings), and played soulful covers of pop and folk songs.

Mixed Bag is the debut studio album by Richie Havens and was released in 1966.

It's been a pleasure revisiting Richie's work a lot since his passing in 2013, and this first "official" album from 1967 is a terrific showcase for his distinctively rich baritone voice, his guitar work, and the subtle jazz rhythms which work so well on tracks like "High Flyin' Bird" and "Sandy".

Though Richie became known for his soulful interpretations of Beatles and Dylan songs, represented here by "Eleanor Rigby" and "Just Like a Woman", it's his impassioned, self-penned anti-war song "Handsome Johnny" (his Woodstock opener) which still has the power to move all these years on, that is the true testament to the man.

Mixed Bag is frequently cited as the singer's best work, and was his first album to appear on Billboard's charts (appearing on both the jazz and pop charts).
Electric Havens and Mixed Bag were two of the records reported among the personal collection of Havens' one-time Greenwich Village buddy, Jimi Hendrix.
