This week's Bonanza & Son on Resonance 104.4fm is available to listen on demand.

Bonanza & Son on ResonanceFM 13/01/16: Lucinda Williams Competition by Bonanza & Son on Mixcloud


This week we run a competition to win tickets to see living legend Lucinda Williams who plays two nights at Brooklyn Bowl London in support of her upcoming LP 'Ghost Of Highway 20'... and we play songs by Lucinda.





Due to popular demand we revive our 'Celluloid Country' feature where we look at a film which significantly features Americana, Roots or Country Music in the soundtrack and this week we look at Quentin Tarantino's brand new movie The Hateful Eight.



Talking of Western's as we like to do we also have a veritable 'brokeback mountain' of brand new and upcoming releases for 2016 including Aoife O'Donovan, Austin Lucas, John Moreland, Malcolm Holcombe, The Warden and lots more...

As always Bonanza & Son showcases the best of all the new and upcoming Americana, Country & Roots releases ...
... and of course it wouldn't be Bonanza & Son without lots of old vinyl that we've picked up along the Americana highway that is the past week of Bonanza & Son's crate digging and record buying plus selections from our trusty record shelves at home including a rare early 70's LP that describes itself as a 'Progressive Country Anthology'.

Cale Tyson is one of the hottest Americana properties coming out of East Nashville USA at the moment and he brings a full band and a brand new, killer album to these shores Spring 2016.



Cale has been on everybody’s critically acclaiming lips across the board from Rolling Stone Magazine to Uncut, Mojo, The Guardian etc as well as having a song featured on the recent über-cool Rough Trade Records 40th Anniversary Compilation, "Counter Culture 15.

Rolling Stone Magazine perfectly described this 24 year old, sexy Texas cowboy as:

“Old school, sad-bastard, Outlaw Country for a new generation of excited Americana fans”
(Rolling Stone)


Swaggering through the saloon bar doors already opened by such recent success stories as Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Daniel Romano etc Cale Tyson brings a fresh approach to Country, Roots and Americana and now excitedly boasting a killer new album due out in April on Clubhouse Records he is sure to open the doors even wider establishing himself as both an innovator and pioneer of the scene and a contender for album of the year.

Cale Tyson Bio:
Cale Tyson is a singer, songwriter and guitar player from Nashville, Tennessee. Born in a small town in Texas, he was raised in Fort Worth, the home of Townes Van Zandt and the place where he first heard the classic country sounds that have inspired and enriched his gentle, melancholy, and undeniably whiskey-soaked sound.

"Tyson channels all the woe and despair you could find in his native Texas crafting meandering and warbling ballads that harken back to the heartbreak songs of old country.” (American Songwriter Magazine)

With a nostalgic heart and an ear for melodies from long ago, Tyson’s UK release on Clubhouse records, “Introducing…” is a beautiful collection of songs that continue the legacy of some of the legendary songwriters whose music he first heard as a child - Gram Parsons, Guy Clark and Willie Nelson, to name but a few.
Recorded in Nashville, the album features some of the town’s finest players including guitarist Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart), keys player Tyson Rogers (Don Williams), John McTigue (Brazilbilly) on drums and Mike Rinne (Caitlin Rose and Andrew Combs) on bass.

Bonanza & Son's favourite films of 2015...

Top Five Films of 2015
1) It Follows:
Quite frankly the most beautiful horror film you’re likely to see. Every frame a visual masterpiece with a sumptuous vintage feel and a soundtrack every bit its equal by ‘DisasterPeace’.





2) The Goob:
Gritty, dark coming of age kitchen sink drama examining issues of abuse, illegal migrant workers, first love and sex all set against a back drop of East Anglia fruit pickers but with a timeless, other-worldly feel that could be anywhere past, present or future where the summers seem to last forever.




3) The Lobster:
A tense, twisted exploration of the psycho-sexual in the face of the ultimate adversity. A dystopian near-future, down to earth sci-fi where supernatural phenomena confuse and confound Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz on a pay-cut in their finest performances to date.



4) American Ultra:
A fucked-up, narco-hallucinatory slacker version of The Bourne Identity franchise but far far more interesting and twisted.



5) Black Mass:
Johnny Depp’s finest hour, proving he really can act and be as menacing as any De Niro or Joe Pesci gangster, an incendiary script with thrilling dialogue that would give any gangster movie a run for its money.
