Bonanza & Son on Resonance104.4FM>Broadcast 12 September 2012>Dana Immanuel live Session

This weeks show features a live session from Gothic-Country Queen & banjo player extraordinaire Dana Immanuel.

+ Competitions, album & gig ticket giveaways.
+ featurettes 'Country Birthdays’ and ‘Celluloid-Country’ where we discuss the soundtrack to The Border from 1982.

I had a discussion with Dana Immanuel recently just prior to a Jim White gig in Wetherspoons. ‘We were in Wetherspoons, not the Jim White gig I should hasten to add... That was at the more salubrious Union Chapel.

Anyhow, Dana turned to me & asked 'how would you describe my music'. ‘Well', I said, 'Gothic-Country comes to mind but in the true sense of Gothic, so more Edgar Allen Poe than Marilyn Manson’. I also said that a journalist friend of mine described it as 'Country-Noir'.

I think that whole conversation says more about what you can expect from today’s session than paragraphs of pretentious bullshit! Enjoy.
