Re: Mandolins On TV - Advance Notice
Turns out that Music City Roots is a fine program. Set up like an old-time radio show (I think it actually is broadcast), there's radio host, a guest MC (in this case Jim Lauderdale) who kicks the show off with two songs, and then every performer follows his lead with two songs each, until they get to the headliner, who get three songs, followed by a closing song by everybody. This format allows for plenty of diversity. And as luck would have it, this week's episode had mandolin all over it, in 2/3 of the bands. I'll be posting notices about this show.
Not "Music Voyager." This was more of a travelogue than music feature, and performers were presented in interviews more than performances. There were snippets of artists playing bit mo whole songs. It was interesting to learn about some new artists, but the lack of complete performances left me fristrated.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
