So much music so little time!
There is only one place left in Melbourne where you can hear the best of the latest releases from both new and established artists, across all genres. Across the Tracks is your window into the new, the exciting and the often eclectic.
In the tradition of Chris Winter’s Room to Move and Billy Pinnell’s The Album Show, Across The Tracks makes musical journeys that take their time and let you savour the album, not just the single.
Presented by John Carver, a man with very diverse musical tastes and a large collection of music (one case where size does matter) Across the Tracks not only brings the new but also adds a unique musical context by mining each artist’s influences and making musical juxtapositions.
John has been doing this for twenty years on PBS, starting with a program called In Search of a Perfect Groove in 1990 and now coming the full circle to return to Sunday nights to provide a fitting end to your dying weekend and a worthy start to the new week.
Each week John listens through piles of new releases to find the best releases and crafts together six new albums across diverse genres to make a show that will travel a different sort of musical highway.
There will be a broad range of established artists as well as deserving new artists who should be heard in the same company. You’ll hear music from genres you know and love and others you may not be so familiar with. It’s kind of a musical smorgasbord.
So every Sunday night, pour yourself a glass of your favourite drink, get yourself comfortable in your favourite chair and, as the song says, turn up the radio. It’s your deserved indulgence!
Join John on Sundays from 8 pm on air or via the web, or catch up on shows you’ve missed with PBS’ Radio On Demand.
