We feature a visit tonight with the Seattle-based singer-songwriter Barton Carroll, who joined us recently at Mississippi Studios in Portland with steel guitarist Darren Loucas. Carroll's new release The Lost One in many ways mirrors his own personality, as he peppers what is largely a collection of the loved and lost with elements of dark humor and self-deprication. Just when you think you've got his sound pegged, he offers up an intense stunner like "Small Thing," in the process tackling an unpleasant subject with the delicate indignation it requires. Our wide ranging conversation with Carroll covers everything from John Denver to Peter Lorre to the Sound of Music, and he also turns in one of the more surprising covers we've heard.
Also tonight, we look forward to the debut of the new Clash documentary The Clash Live: Revolution Rock, which debuts tonight on OPB-TV. Plus new music from Don Cavalli, No Kids, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, The Ruby Suns, and more.
