The featured album was THE OZARK SHEIKS by UNCLE CUCKLEBURR'S CHAMPION POSSUM CARVERS  www.possumcarvers.com (MayApple Records).  This Arkansas duo serves up a visceral mix of what they describe as 'early American music', rather than choosing to adapt more usual terms such as mountain music or old time, and go so far as to describe their sound as 'Rurnt' ('ruined' in the old Ozark vernacular).  This is joyously raw music, but very listenable.  The following tracks were scattered through the program:

NO LOW DOWN HANGING AROUND;  POSSUM CARVERS' BOLL WEEVIL BLUES;  GONNA KEEP MY SKILLET GREASY;  OLE MOLLIE HARE;  WHAT'S THAT THAT TASTES LIKE GRAVY;  SKINNER
