Howling’s back on the porch taking chances, making connections and contemplating souls. All in all then, its the usual confusing nonsense built around an hour of some of the finest blues and roots music you’ll find on the net.

This time out, Howling’s decided to talk less whilst unashamedly promoting videos, breaking with tradition and examining novel headwear. Fear not though loyal blues hounds, despite all this rubbish you can rest assured it’s an hour of fine blues and roots on Taint.

There’s some wishful thinking this time out as Howling wants to turn the clock back but without success as the usual collection of oddball miscreants including an artistic evangelist, mime artist and father and daughter act join in the madness. Despite the build up, rest assured its an hour of fine blues and roots.

It’s a brand new year but the same old nonsense as Howling reminisces sartorial fashions, reviews a curriculum vitae and consults the oracle. Despite all this he still manages to play an hour of some excellent blues ‘n roots!

Its that time of year when the ultimate blues pedant Cliff McKnight brings his encyclopaedic knowledge and immaculate taste for all things scratchy to Dick’s porch. They sit around for an hour talking about and playing their favourite pre 1950 blues whilst Mrs McKnight knits away. They also make a plea for all you blues hounds to donate to charity, so if you enjoy the show go put some money in a tin somewhere!
And don’t forget to let Dick know how ya liked it at howlingdick@gmail.com – he’ll thank ya! Happy Holidays.

This time out Howlings going back to Chicago, dabbling in Tibetan Buddhism and talking about a good decision. Don’t’t be put off by his nonsense though, because remember folks there’s an hour of cracking blues and roots music on the porch.

The tragic events in Paris last weekend inspire Howling to dedicate an hour of blues and roots either from French artists or inspired by the city. Along the way he suffers Google translate and tries his best to strangle the French language but does his best to send a tribute to the brave Parisians. Vive La France!

Apart from telling a few sad tales on the porch this time around, Howling’s convinced he’s young enough to rock, admits he’s irritating to his wife and prepared to take on the blues police. What’s all this got to do with good music? Well listen and you’ll find, amongst the nonsense, an hour of damn fine blues, roots and all kind of things!
