Comments

• Full tracklisting with thanks to Lorcan's Tracklistings Archive.[1]
• The Sam McGee track, from a recently issued compilation album of vintage old-time hillbilly music, became a Peel favourite and received a number of plays, as he points out on the surviving link, which may or may not be from this show (see below). The track appeared in both Peel's Ace Records Top Ten and in the posthumous playlist of 18 November 2004 (Rob Da Bank).
• Apart from this track, Peel didn't play a lot of Sam McGee's material, but the guitarist (1894-1975) was an influence on two of Peel's favourite artists. His solo work inspired John Fahey, while the early Incredible String Band drew on his 1920s recordings as a menber of Uncle Dave Macon's Fruit Jar Drinkers,
