{"product_id":"march-1963","title":"March 1963","description":"John Koerner had a busy day and night on March 24, 1963. For starters, he did a ten-hour studio session with friends Dave Ray and Tony Glover that resulted in the wonderful and maverick folk-blues album Blues, Rags \u0026amp; Hollers -- a seminal document in the folk and blues revival of the early '60s. Then he did a set at a local folk club and he followed that up with a visit to a Milwaukee radio station where he recorded an interview and another half hour or so of singing and playing -- quite a day. When producer Mark Trehus acquired the tape archives from Dave Ray's recording studio several decades later, he was delighted to discover a complete and clear tape recording of the radio spot Koerner did that night, and all these years later, here it is, and it's a charming remembrance of a very specific time and place. Koerner played a dozen or so songs that night in his half-traditional, half-revisionist style accompanied by his charging 12-string guitar, harmonica interludes, and plenty of foot stomping. \"Duncan \u0026amp; Brady\" is an onrushing delight and there's an early version of \"Southbound Train\" here, too, along with several other gems, and it's amazing to think that only a few hours earlier he had brought the same ragged intensity to bear at the Blues, Rags \u0026amp; Hollers session -- all of which makes this set a great coda to that album. ~ Steve Leggett","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42088081981605,"sku":"643157410928","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/b91e8d4f2694cc0c65dc3b81c897fe36_531427d5-7669-402f-b724-6f3dee6e43c5.jpg?v=1779655960","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-ca\/products\/march-1963","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
