Sunday 6 May 2012, with William Dart
Sunday, 6 May 2012
William wraps up the first series with a quick flick through the following:
Adele - Live at The Royal Albert Hall (XL)
Bonnie Raitt - Slipstream (Redwing)
Gretchen Peters - Hello Cruel World (Scarlet Letter)
Punch Brothers - Who's Feeling Young Now (Nonesuch)
Roy Harper - Songs of Love and Loss (Salvo)
Time To Go: The Southern Psychedelic Moment 1981-86 (Flying Nun) ... playing The Great Unwashed Obscurity Blues
The Troubles - [self-titled] (Rattle)
One of the above he's not that fussed about.
He also gives a taster of a disc he'll return to next series: Andrew Bird's Break It Yourself. And he finishes with Tomorrow People and their track from the Kiwi Hit Disc 147, Better Place.
Presenter:
William Dart
William Dart hosts an hour of rock, pop, country or folk music; each programme focusing on a new release or two and placing these in the context of an artist's career to date. His encyclopaedic knowledge and gargantuan record collection allow him to find hidden gems and surprising links. With plenty of humour along the way, William gives a serious treatment to these vital forms of music.
Sundays at 7pm
Produced by Tim Dodd
Episodes of New Horizons are available as audio on demand from 1 July 2012.
William Dart's Track Record
New Horizons has been on air for over thirty years. Its first broadcast in April 1980 was heralded by a cover on the New Zealand Listener. The albums featured on that cover - albums by Ry Cooder, XTC, The Kinks and Ray Davies, Sparks, Randy Newman, Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello and Jonathan Richman - were chosen by William. The artists have mostly continued to have flourishing careers and have been featured many times on the programme over the years. It just goes to show that William knows how to pick'em.
