Show Notes
Visit: www.salty.com.au BRUSHED – New blues and roots podcast out now! This week, we slide into a smouldering mix of rhythm and grit — BRUSHED brings together deep cuts and bright sparks, with a sly nod to soul-drenched blues, outlaw roots, and alt-folk finesse. From the smooth swagger of Jamie McLean Band to the smoky gospel stomp of North Mississippi Allstars, this playlist pulls no punches.
And we’re repping the locals loud — Collard Greens N Gravy bring the new boogaloo, Geoff Achison & the Soul Diggers keep it real, Richard Ashby turns it on, and the Chris Wilson re classic rereleased 'King For A Day'. Raw as ever. Add The Pleasures, Simon Kinny-Lewis, Kevin Borich Express... yeah, we’ve definitely got our homegrown heroes in the mix.
Settle in for: • Patty Griffin’s haunting Stolen Car • Taj & Keb’s porch-front magic • Steve Earle, Yasmin Williams, Koko Taylor and more
