It’s about the size of a regulation rugby ball

We sat down on a cold, rainy afternoon to record a podcast (right click and “save as” to download) with Wes Charlton to talk about his new album, absinthe, music and canoeing. He sang us a few songs, we made him a few drinks. All in all a regular day’s work here at HCT HQ. This is the first podcast we’ve had real technical difficulties with. Sadly I couldn’t be bothered to check to make sure we had batteries that worked and neither of us was smart enough to remember that AC power was an option so we got cut off a couple times. But we managed to save all Wes’ gorgeous songs and funny stories and that’s what’s really important here, eh? Who cares if the editing makes us all sound slightly insane. We’d sound slightly insane anyway, right? Tracks here, among the conversation, include:

1. To Be Found
2. Pop Song 99
3. Red Eyes, Blues Lights
4. Change Will Come
5. Southern Comfort
6. Avenues (Whiskeytown)
7. I Ain’t Ever Satisfied (Steve Earle)

Wes’ debut album, American Bittersweet, is available on iTunes, CDBaby, Miles of Music and he has some other songs on his website. His forthcoming album, World on Fire, will be in all those places as well, so keep your eyes open for it. And while you’re poking around check out his MySpace page.
