Downloads of the Week

We've got a two part haul this week. Part I = public radio offerings: a bunch of shows offered from NPR that I've taken the time to track for ya. Real good shit. Support public radio! (they've got better musical taste than you and me). They're all recent, they're all awesome, I recommend them all, frankly. Part II is an Oteil-fest, two shows from my "vault" from this day -- March 11th. The first is a classic ARU show from 1994 with lots of guests up in Burlington. Excellent. The second is one of the Allmans Beacon shows from 2000 from those awkward in-between years when Derek had joined the band and Dickey was still "the man." You know what? Wasn't that bad. You don't realize what you had with Mr. Betts until he was gone. Highlights are a 25+ minute "High Falls" which requires its own download and a great big "Dreams" with the Betts & Oakley spawn sitting in.

Enjoy and remember to check out the OTW download master list for more!
