¿Como Suena, Cabezón?

This is a mixed bag, featuring artists and recordings from the great state of Louisiana- a place we call home. This is by no means a definitive representation of all the music from the Bayou state, just some tunes we've been into lately. Best enjoyed at 7pm with a shot of whiskey, or in true Louisiana fashion, at  7am with a shot of whiskey.

Compiled from our personal collection, largely from vinyl.

Seeds And Stems

All songs on this mix are written or co-written by New Orleans producer/piano player/songwriter Allen Toussaint (aka Naomi Neville). Toussaint, is the featured vocalist on a few of these tracks, and all but 5 tracks were produced with him at the helm (often behind the piano too).

As far as Toussaint's legacy goes, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We hope you enjoy this funky, funky mix!

Party On The Patio

This mix is a tribute to the late Paul Ray's 'Twine Time' radio program.

When us lovebirds at CherrywoodFM met each other Paul Ray ruled our Saturday nights.  His 'Twine Time' radio show played from 7 to 11 on KUT 90.5 and we would always have it on. Many fond memories were made while Paul Ray played hit after hit. He gave us a great education that ultimately fueled a musical obsession!

Thanks to Antone's Record Shop we managed to score a few 45s and LPs from his personal collection, and some of those songs are featured here. 

Happy New Year from CherrywoodFM.

Workin' For The Man

Remember when Z-102.3 played through the speakers of your buddy's older brother's car, Thundercloud Subs, Texadelphia and the Union bowling alley?

If you were a kid in the 90s in Austin you damn sure do.

I wanted to bring back the feeling of sitting in a low-lit booth of the Conan's on Guadalupe, looking at the Frank Frazetta illustrations, while you chowed down on a slice of Savage, listening to an Eagles song that you never particularly cared for, but you know if Z-102 is playing it, you can bet your ass there's some old guy out there in his South Austin workshop jamming out.

Pink Champagne On Ice (Part 2)

We put this mix together around the time of Tina Turner's passing. It is by no means a tribute mix, but you'll find a lot of Tina on here, along with some other random tracks.

Low Rent Rendezvous

This was intended as a straight classic rock mix, but it went off the rails somewhere. We still like it pretty good though.

Snow Queen of Texas

It's An Old School Dance Party!

Inspired by Morgan "Moman" Nixon's book, "Born In A Car Crash," these mixes highlight all the 'choice' 1950s and 60s rhythm & blues tunes featured in the author's extensive 45 collection.
