Global A Go-Go presents:
They left me naught to dig his grave
Sunday is the 82nd birthday of Martin Carthy, the English singer and guitarist who has done as much as anyone alive today to perpetuate and advance the folk and traditional music of Great Britain. And he’s still going strong, with a gig coming up in Birmingham (England, not Alabama) this week and a tour planned for the fall and winter. This week on Global A Go-Go we celebrate Martin Carthy by playing two of my favorite songs of his. Yeah, they’re long songs.
Also this week (Sunday May 21, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): The unlikely duo of Venezuelan Larry Bellorín on llanera harp and American Joe Troop on banjo, another new single from Denver Latin-folk-psych combo Kiltro, a set of Afro-reggae and ska, the latest Sahara desert blues from Tinariwen and Bombino, and one more song by Baba Commandant & The Mandingo Band who will be at the Get Tight Lounge on Wednesday May 24.
