In this episode, Page welcomes a longtime friend and blues brother Terry Garland to the Swamp for a lively session also featuring Carolyn Crone and Pippin Barnett. Terry took his National steel guitar around the world and spent some good years as one of Bruce Olsen’s Offenders before his early passing in the fall of 2021. The sit down was recorded in the summer of 1989 and featured Page on harp and Carolyn Crone on vocals…she actually kicks things off as Terry got lost in the swamp and was running a bit late.
For your listening pleasure and historical perspective, JAMinc is proud to present the full 35-program season of Page’s Kitchen…the Swamp Sessions as previously aired on VPM Music and The Breeze. These Americana allstars appeared on the late Page Wilson’s Out O’ The Blue Radio Revue some three decades ago. They were all live, one-take recordings made in various Richmond studios at the time and stand as a fitting tribute to those artists and to Page for having the taste, drive and gumption to lure them into his make-believe lair, deep in the Chickahominy Swamp. We’re deeply grateful to Jude Schlotzhauer and Virginia Blue Wilson for entrusting us with these priceless master tapes and to Guy Spiller and Charlie Reilly for carefully converting them from analog to digital. Sincere thanks to our loyal sponsors: Digital Video Group, the Scott Street Family and the members of VPM.
