Show

 * Name
 * Night Ride


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One (and Two)

 * Comments
 * Tracklisting compiled from a recording of the show, with the help of Paul Bryant's Night Ride Playlists and Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions.
 * The music and poetry session(s) for this programme are provided by one group - The Occasional Word Ensemble, called in Paul's playlist the Occasional Music Ensemble. This may be a mistake, but it is possible that the band re-named itself, or were re-named by Peel, for the spoken word part of this session.
 * The Peel Sessions lists Roy Harper and Harry Lund as additional studio guests.
 * The musical repertoire of the Occasional Word Ensemble and the inclusion of a Dave Kelly track from the Matchbox Records compilation LP Blues Like Showers of Rain reflect the British country blues revival, which peaked around this time. As Ken Garner points out (The Peel Sessions, pp. 50-51), Peel's Night Ride regularly featured homegrown revivalists as well as American blues artists.
