Truly a fantastic find from Birmingham’s @recordsrelicsandrebelrousers — local radio DJ and civil rights pioneer “Tall Paul” White’s theme song, released on his own Paul record label and featuring local vocal group the Excavators. To hear it, go to @recordsrelicsandrebelrousers‘ YouTube page, linked in their bio. This is invaluable & thrilling history.

Tomorrow on The Lost Child: a 1970s live radio broadcast from Norman Blake & Tut Taylor at Nashville’s Exit/In. Plus: a set of crazy Georgia fiddling from Earl Johnson and his Clodhoppers / Dixie Entertainers. Also, rural country blues, Little Laura Dukes, Doc & Merle Watson—and, somehow, miraculously, more. 9-10 AM, Central, at @birminghammountainradio #Photo by Jackson DeParis. #exitin #tuttaylor #normanblake #crazygeorgiafiddling #earljohnsonandhisclodhoppers #earljohnsonandhisdixieentertainers
Don’t mess around with Sanford Clark. Tomorrow on The Lost Child I’ll play a long set of songs from this country music original, who died on July 4th at the age of 85. We’ll also remember two other recent losses to the world of music, bluesman Willie Green and Sacred Harp singer Coy Ivey -- and we’ll celebrate a couple of musical birthdays, Mavis Staples’s 82nd and what would have been the late trumpeter Cootie Williams’s 110th. Tune in, celebrate, lift up, love, and remember. 9-10 A.M., Central, on @birminghammountainradio : 107.3 FM & bhammountainradio.com
