Theme Time Radio Hour

Ever heard Bob Dylan's show on satellite radio called Theme Time Radio Hour ?

I've been a fan for a couple of years, even though I don't have satellite radio, I've 'caught' the show via mp3 bloggers who posted each week's show on their websites.

It was an hour-long show, always based on a single theme, like "Rain" or "Coffee" or "Texas".

The songs he chose for each show were VERY eclectic, jumping from blues to rockabilly to be-bop to honky-tonk to folk to... well, just about anything. (The show he did on "Nothing" included diverse artist such as Mose Allison, Sammy Davis Jr., Toussaint McCall, Brenda Lee, Marlene Dietrich, and Townes Van Zandt )

He peppered the show will interesting facts about the song or artist, and often included short audio clips from movies, TV or radio, as long as it fit the theme of that show.

Sorry to say, the show's off the air.

BUT there's a wonderful blogger (from France) who has a number of the shows on his blog: L'Homme Scalp

He's been kind enough to parce out the shows as individual MP3s, and in most cases supply them with ID3 tags, too.

The last couple of shows are "leftovers" but if you scroll down, you'll see shows that cover themes, and also a list of songs/artists for each of the shows.

Check it out at:

btw when you scroll to the bottom of the page, there's a link that says Page suivante,

That link will take you to the previous page, where you'll find more TTRH shows.

Repeat as necessary.

And a complete playlist for all three seasons can be found at http://www.croz.fm/
