Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Beck, Shawn Colvin, and Petty Does Double-Duty as DJ, Tuesday, October 29, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We’re coming to the end of Petty month, and we’re pulling out the stops. Now we have Tom the performer and Tom the DJ on the same day!

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m.     Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Beck: The Fire Meets The Fury

Do we need to say any more than that?

2:00 p.m.       In the Spotlight: The Music of Shawn Colvin

The importance of Shawn Colvin to women in music cannot be understated, although she often seems to bring up the rear.

5:00 p.m.       Petty’s Peculiar Picks: The Best of Tom Petty’s Buried Treasure

One overlooked aspect of Tom Petty’s illustrious career was his stint as a DJ for Sirius XM Radio. He started his Buried Treasure show on the Deep Tracks Channel, but moved it to To Petty Radio when his own channel went on the air. Prior to  his death, he did more than 400 hour-long shows that basically give you the history of rock n’ roll.

In this playlist, you’ll hear the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Bobby “Blue” Bland, LaVern Baker, Little Richard, and Wanda Jackson, among others.

9:00 p.m.       Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Take The Highway Live, 1991

2:00 p.m.      Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Under the Covers (New!)

The Heartbreakers have to be the best cover band alive. Here’s some more stuff they didn’t write, but still made their own.

9:00 p.m.      The Monterey International Pop Festival

Open Stream All Day Long; A Nod to The Heartbreakers in the Evening, Tuesday, October 22, 2019

Tues2019-09-16_13-05-39

There’s only one for the line-up this evening:

8:00 p.m.     Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Live at the Olympic (2002)

This is officially known as The Last DJ Tour. This was the one album that the Heartbreakers made that didn’t  have a unifying ‘theme’ to it, or so the rumor goes. I think the critics are regimented in this industry. Apparently, the prevailing sentiment among the snobby writers is that a mere collection of fucking great songs isn’t enough.

Actually, The Last DJ is (and always has been) about greed –that’s the only unifying theme it needs. Tom Petty was the one music artist who stood up and told the industry that he thought music was overpriced and that’s why people pirated it. Everybody else remained mute.

Tune in. You’ll enjoy it.
