Slap on your chaps ...

... it's country hour on Three Chords and the Truth. Get ready for Andy and Sonya presenting a show of country music that is guaranteed yodel-free. There was a very good reason Alternative Country was invented - to take the cringe out of country. Tune in as Three Chords and the Truth celebrates song-writing benchmarks such as the eradication of wife beating, and 45% less mangy dogs per song and 33% less big hair in the industry PGW(post Gillian Welch).

Going under the covers and singing with siblings ...

... are the themes of the next 2 editions of Three Chords and the Truth. Wendy and Andy will be playing artists doing covers because ... well I'm guessing originality was a bit too hard that day maybe? The thing about covers is it's only great songs that get that treatment, and if they put them out there, an artist is pretty much saying they believe they are adding something to them in their cover. But do you agree?

To round out March, Alex and Andy will be in the family way ... sharing the harmonies, interwoven artistic sensibilities and subtle undercurrents that siblings singing together offer. So check out the Avett's and Finns and McGarrigle's and Wainwrights and many many more, on Three Chords and the Truth.

what's next?

we're going a little bit kiwi and focussing on my personal favourite subject - men! tune in to Andy & Sonya and Kaz & Alex as we storm in to March. Alex
