Good morning, weekenders! We have made it to Saturday and we’ve got a great lineup of music as we say Hello-Goodbye (a little Beatles imagery there) to Townes Van Zandt and Joni Mitchell. In between, we’ve got our great House EP.
Here’s your musical lineup:
9:00 a.m. Album of The Week: The Hissing of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell FINAL AIRING!
We say farewell to Mitchell’s great jazz-rock album today with a final airing. Tomorrow, we’ll have a brand new selection for you.
11:00 a.m. The #BecomeUngovernable House Playlist: Various Artists
One of the first playlists we created here includes the music that made us want to start this station with from the very beginning. You’ll hear Barry McGuire, The Temptations, Peter Tosh, The Beatles, Genesis, T-Rex, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Country Joe & The Fish, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Joan Baez, CSNY, Pink Floyd, The Animals, Ten Years After, The Plastic Ono Band, George Harrison, Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix, Three Dog Night, Jimmy Cliff, Richie Havens, Marvin Gaye, The Association, Phil Ochs, Tom Rush, Pete Seeger, The Band, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin and more!
8:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Townes Van Zandt NEW!
Although not a commercial success like Dylan, Townes Van Zandt is often put on the same pedestal. He was a prolific songwriter whose compositions are considered masterpieces of American songwriting, such as Pancho & Lefty, For The Sake of The Song, Tecumseh Valley and If I Needed You. His songs have been recorded by hundreds of artists, including Emmylou Harris (the absolute best version of Pancho & Lefty ever, IMO), Norah Jones, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan himself.
You’ve made it to the weekend, so why not celebrate with the little radio station that could. We’re not in it for the money. We’re in it for the music. I’m sharing my own personal juke box with the world. And best of all, we’re on 24/7 with no commercial advertising! Try us.
