Free track from Trampled By Turtles via WNYC Soundcheck- the Turtles appeared today on the show.
A Bluegrass Top 10 hit and critical acclaim are nice – but when you’ve had a stretch of hometown highway named after you? That’s when you know you’ve arrived. Minnesota’s fast-playing bluegrass band Trampled By Turtles join us live in studio with a just-released album called “Stars and Satellites,” and to tell us about the newly christened “Trampled By Turtles Trail.” (Pilgrims, take note: it’s on I-35 between Minneapolis and Duluth).

Videos are up from Alan Lomax’s bluegrass audio archiving in the US Southeast in the early 80’s. Predictably strange and great. Unpredictably, the stage banter is really funny.

In Studio: Rebirth Brass Band live on Soundcheck, April 8, 2011
Whistled melodies have inspiredgreat music from Otis Redding, Paul Simon and others. But whistling has also inspired murderous looks on the subway. WNYC Soundcheck debates the sometimes-awesome, sometimes-annoying art of whistling. Guests include New Yorker editor and writer Ben Greenmanand singer, teacher – and competitive-whistling champion – Emily Eagen. Readers of Bluegrass NYC will know Emily as one of the fantastic musicians performing in The Whistling Wolves.
