Here’s the playlist and listen online link for Midnight Campfire episode #50, first broadcast Wed 5 Aug 2015. I was excited for this show and enjoyed it but listening back, something’s a bit off – all beautiful music, just maybe I could’ve ordered the songs better. Anyway, it’s still a very fun time… Bob Dylan’s A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall is the Campfire Songbook entry; there’s magic new music from Trevor & Hannah, Stick In The Wheel, Luke Sital-Singh and others; plus a gorgeous three-in-a-row of instrumental tracks in the second half from Alvin Youngblood Hart, John Parish and Anoushka Shankar.
