  Visit: www.salty.com.au We open this week with a short tribute to the late John Hammond — a player who stayed true to the roots and never overplayed it. A couple of his tracks to get things underway. After that, it’s a well-balanced set — a mix of older cuts, newer releases, and a strong Australian showing. You’ll hear Dan Dinnen N Shorty, Julian James N Moonshine State, Jen Mize N Rough N Tumble, Greg Numan N The General Jacksons, Shane O’Mara N Jac Tonks, Shane Pacey, Catch 23 and Van Walker alongside the internationals. We move through hill country with Junior Kimbrough, some clean Texas swing from Jimmy Vaughan, and a bit of groove from Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. There are also a couple of pre-release tracks worth a listen. It’s a steady run — blues and roots as you like it!

  Visit: www.salty.com.au BACKLINE is back for January tone hounds. We roll from raw modern blues and roots through to the deep catalogue — Eddie Taylor talking big-town truths, Johnny Winter cutting sharp, Jimmie Vaughan riding that groove like he always does.

Add Bill Frisell bending Marvin Gaye into something new, Violent Femmes kicking the walls in, and Tom Waits reminding us how to hold on — and you’ve got a playlist that moves from backroom blues to late-night confessionals.
