This months episode of Getting Warmer for NTS Radio was a country special, a sequel to the previous one which you can find here. It’s largely my favorite kind of Golden Age country: mostly from the 50s and 60s, lots of reverb, warbly with ghostly backing choirs and hazy heatwavey pedal steel guitar. It also features “Wichita Lineman,” an all-time favorite which I sometimes think is the most beautiful song ever written. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! You can download an mp3 version here.
