Notes: Loki began the show billing the program as, "early recordings, 78's, twang, road culture, train songs, talkin' blues and steel guitar."

Standout tunes are Local 33's, "Blue Collar Workday", "Midnight Blue" by Roy Smeck, who is credited with bringing slide guitar from vaudeville to Western music and Richmond Fontaine's, "Hector's Hideaway."
