Good morning, workers! Today we start off with a new playlist with the words ‘free’ and ‘freedom’ in the title, lyrics or both. And believe me, I’m not insinuating that we should be celebrating ‘freedom’ giving he current state of the nation.
Here’s your musical landscape:
9:00 a.m. Free As a Bird: Various Artists NEW!
We’ve had this one on the drawing board for a bit, and it has arrived today. You’ll hear Chicago, CSNY, The Byrds, Otis Redding, Steve Winwood, Cream, Jesse Winchester, Dave Mason, Van Morrison, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Dylan, Allen Toussaint, Elton John, Tracy Chapman, Emmylou Harris, Chicken Shack, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Pete Seeger, The Beatles and more!
4:00 p.m. Neil Young Live at The Cellar Door, Washington, D.C., November 30 to December 2, 1970
Some early Neil Young is in order this afternoon, recorded live at a series of concerts at the Cellar Door in D.C.
8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Jimmy Cliff
Sometimes this guy gets lost in the reggae, ska, rocksteady shuffle, but he shouldn’t be. Tonight we put him In the Spotlight where he belongs.
I’m off to work shortly, working my usual day off because we are closed tomorrow. The Music Mermaid will be in charge until I return this afternoon. You will be in very good hands until then.
