Ozzy Osbourne › Crazy Train I accidentally cut the antenna lead on my satellite radio while I was load pallets into the back of my car. So, now, I'm left with terrestrial radio. Mostly, it's pretty bleak so I scan a lot stations. Last night, my meanderings brought me to WHJY 95.5 out of Providence. This Ozzy song caught my attention, but the banter between the DJ and sidekick was quite forgettable. 05/08/2008 06:57 AM

Hayes Carll - A Lover Like You It's got that jangly style of Dylan's Blonde on Blonde with the Austin, wise-guy redneck twang. 05/07/2008 09:16 AM

David Bromberg - Mr. Bojangles David Bromberg played guitar in Jerry Jeff Walker's band while Mr. Bojangles was JJW's big hit. (It was an even bigger hit for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.) IMO, Bromberg's version is much better, his voice cracking at all the right turns. 05/06/2008 04:00 PM
