For Music City read..Eternal City

April 23, 2010 by ricky 2 Comments

If you’ve been paying close attention you’d probably have expected the odd post from here…..

And you’d, no doubt, be disappointed to discover I was swanning around here…..

Well I’m sorry to say I never made Nashville. Just as you’re making plans a volcano can just..explode…and you have to adjust.

So for Music Row, read The Palatine Hill and for The Opry I can tell you all about the Coliseum. Trouble is we’d booked a studio

over in Music City so we though it best to bring you our show anway. So Rome can wait and on Friday we have Caitlin Rose in session live

from Nashville. New music from Elizabeth Cook, Gaslight Anthem and much more. Plus that Bob Dylan song about Rome I kept singing to myself on my

1000 mile road trip home.

On Sunday I’ll spend an hour in the company of Peter Owen Jones. If you enjoyed Alastair McIntosh last week, which many of you seem to have done, I think you’ll love Peter. He’s best known for his BBC Television series “Around The World in Eighty Faiths” and I’m sure you will enjoy his company hugely.

We’ll be talking about this book:

About Me

All year round I present a weekly program called Another Country which goes out every Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. You can find the show on BBC Radio Scotland.

Occasionally you'll find me on BBC Radio 2 with my New Tradition.

I also make special programs about artists whose music has inspired me; Ricky Ross Meets... is on BBC Radio Scotland.

You can listen to previous versions of all these shows via BBC Sounds.
