this week, some far-out molam luk thung pop sounds from hongthong dao'udon! hongthong, as her stage-name suggests, hails from isaan's udon thani province. a star of local temple fairs since childhood, she was picked up by luk thung star siphrai chaiphra to join his troupe in bangkok at age 10. she had a number of hits penned by songwriter doi inthanon, and toured extensively throughout the country... her repetoire was quite remarkable; she could easily swing from string-inflected disco to traditional northeastern lam, but in the 90's, she tragically lost her voice after a thyroid operation. since then, she has been working steadily at regaining it, and hosting a popular radio show in udon thani meanwhile. sadly, as doug from wfmu alerted me, ms. hongthong was recently sentenced to spend a year and 4 months in jail for her involvement with the red shirt movement, after allegedly mobilizing protesters through her radio platform. best wishes to the poor lady! and be sure to check out another fantastic album of her's over at gojira's stereomono blog!

What a great album! Some tracks here, especially #4, sound very similar (instrumentally) to a yodrak salakchai album I have.
yeah, it makes sense!
i'd probably place hongthong in that same circle of luk thung stars of the 70's, if a bit in the peripheries.. she actually got famous singing response songs to yodrak's main comrade/rival, sayan sanya
Great! Where can I buy this?
well... i'm almost certain you can only get it in thailand, and even then, this is the only copy i've ever seen. but if you want to hear the whole album, just click the tracklist link!
I can't stop listening to this one. She is so much fun.
makes me super happy in these rather down times. thank you.
