#239 - the Town of Woodstock, New York (2016)
Over the years I almost never plugged my own projects on the show (sometimes I’d talk about them after the fact), but I did engage in cronyism many times. During this entire show I’m plugging, and exploring the contents of, a great book by my friend Barney Hoskyns, “Small Town Talk”.
Here’s what I said about it at the time:
It's an in-depth survey of the musical legacy of the Town of Woodstock, NY, a place that I know super-well; I lived there from 1987 to 2005. Barney's book struck an emotional chord with me and was a vivid reading experience.
This Saturday on the show we'll hear lots of beautiful and brilliant stuff by Karen Dalton, Tim Hardin, Bob Dylan, Karl Berger, Sonia Malkine, Levon Helm, and various usual and unusual suspects.
So, it’s another mini-documentary style installment of “The Best of The Bottomless Pit w/ Marshall Crenshaw”.
