In Honor of My 66th Birthday, I’m Playing You 66 of My Favorite Songs; There’s Also Petty Theft and the All-Girl Revue!

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Well, putting 66 candles on a birthday cake is a fire hazard, but playing you 66 of my favorite songs on my birthday (in no particular order) is a great substitute.

Irma Thomas (shown performing in 2008) is known as the “sweet soul queen of New Orleans.”

Here’s your line-up for February 7:

11:00 a.m. Petty Theft: The Covers

The same principles that make Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers the greatest rock n’roll band of all time also make them the greatest cover band of all time. Give it a listen. You’ll see what I mean.

3:00 p.m. The Big 66: Sixty-six of My Favorite Songs in No Particular Order

Yeah, putting 66 burning candles on a cake is definitely a fire hazard. But I’ll play you 66 of my favorite songs of all time as my birthday gift to you! That’s slightly over 4 hours of great music. (Did I mention that there’s actually 67 because I threw one in for good luck?)

By the way, this playlist was compiled in just under an hour and a half on total impulse by combing through about 22,000 active song files on the radio station. If I did it again, there would probably be a whole new list, but these are definitely 67 of my favorites!

9:00 p.m. The All-Girl Revue, Volume 4

Tune us in on my birthday. It’s a party, people! And it’s totally free.

The Stones “Live,” Dan Fogelberg in the Spotlight, Emmylou Harris & The Desert Rose Band, Plus Our Album of the Week on Thursday, February 6, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We have great music today, including the Rolling Stones Live at the Fonda Theater!

11:00 a.m. Album of the Week: Bob Dylan’s Desire

This was the first time I heard Emmylou Harris in any serious fashion. I had heard her sing on some of Linda Ronstadt’s music, and she was becoming known to me then, but the raw power of her performances on this album really struck me. It was only much later that I found out she did not know that Dylan would use all the material as it happened, with no post-production. Amazing. I immediately went out and bought Elite Hotel. The rest is history.

2:00 p.m. The Rolling Stones: Live at the Fonda Theater

A brand new addition to our “live” music collection!

5:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Dan Fogelberg

9:00 p.m. Emmylou Harris & The Desert Rose Band

It inadvertently turned out to be an Emmylou kind of day. Here she steps out with the Desert Rose Band, a country rock band out of California founded in 1985 by Chris Hillman (formerly of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers), Herb Pederson (formerly of The Eagles), and John Jorgenson.

Bob Dylan’s “Desire” is Album of the Week; After That, It’s Open Stream Sunday, February 2, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! It’s an easy, breezy day here at #BecomeUngovernable Radio, with the exception of our Album of the Week at high noon!

Bob Dylan Desire

Here’s your Sunday line-up:

12:00 noon Album of the Week: Bob Dylan’s Desire (1976)

Desire was Bob Dylan’s 17th studio album back in 1976, for a little perspective on the breadth and depth of this guy’s career. The woman behind the album was his estranged wife, Sara, but the woman backing him up on the album was also a factor.

Desire was the very first time I heard Emmylou Harris sing anywhere and really paid attention. I was hooked. It is her hauntingly beautiful vocals that stand out for me, along with the gypsy violin played by another woman, Scarlet Rivera. As for Dylan? He’s Dylan, man.

This is a great album. Enjoy.

Album of the Week: It’s a Good Night For Singin’ by Jerry Jeff Walker

Today we pay tribute to Mike Campbell on his 70th birthday, a very important cog in the Heartbreakers’ wheel. Not only was he Tom Petty’s songwriting partner, but he’s one of the best damned guitarists in the history of rock music. And he is about to release his first album with The Dirty Knobs in March. We’ll be all over that one.

10:00 p.m. Our Weekly “Live Dead” Episode: Dick’s Picks, Volume 32
