Forward through the Songs


Country Music 1927 - 1980: Songs of Despair, Suicide, Murder, and Love
These are some of my favorite country songs.
My original idea was to play "American Songs from the Left", but these old Country songs were, in a way more subtle and far-reaching. Most of these were very popular songs.

1. Can the Circle be Unbroken – The Carter Family 1935
2. Worried Man Blues – Carter Family 1930
3. Yodeling Cowboy & "T" for Texas - Jimmie Rodgers & the Carter Family 1931
4. T. B. Blues – Jimmie Rodgers 1931
5. Blue Yodel #9 - Jimmie Rodgers & Louis Armstrong 1931
6. Midnight Special – Leadbelly 1940
7. The Last Letter – Rex Griffin 1937
8. Lost Highway – Hank Williams 1949
9. I’m So Lonesome I could Cry – Hank Williams 1949
10. I Don’t Wanna Play House – Tammy Wynette 1967
11. Don’t Come Home A’Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind) – Loretta Lynn 1966
12. Coal Miner’s Daughter – Loretta Lynn 1971
13. Folsom Prison Blues – Johnny Cash 1968
14. Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain – Willie Nelson 1975
15. He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones 1980

Juniradio is a free and open radio that will broadcast from June 8 until June 30 2003, 24 hours per day, on 104.1 FM in Berlin and as a live stream on the internet. Juniradio is a free radio since it lacks the commercial or institutional constraints that, in Berlin and elsewhere, prevent almost anything unforseeable from happening on the radio, and it is an open radio since it will not be produced by editors, professionals or experts, but by a wide network of local and international groups, initiatives and individuals.
Juniradio will be a political radio as well, since it addresses a certain social imagination: the desire and the demand for a permanent free and open radio in Berlin that would not emerge as a speculation about a defined market niche or target group, but as a bet on real, meaningful and productive connections. Connections between the artistic, political, or whatever work of the participants, as well as, finally, connections between the production and the consumption of radio, and between the radio program and the life of the people.

Juniradio is a project of Bootlab
organized by: radiokampagne.de, Klubradio, TwenFM, Radio Internationale Stadt, Partner gegen Berlin and others.
