August 7, 2023 – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good morning, bluesologists! Welcome to another Tuesday Bluesday with our big Chicago blues multi-artist EP and some ‘live’ James Cotton later. In between, it’s our AOW.

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Best of Chicago Blues: Various Artists

Our big, bad Chicago blues EP is here with Otis Rush, Willie Dixon, Albert King, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, Koko Taylor, Lowell Fulson, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy, Magic Slim, Sonny Boy Williamson, Son Seals, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Otis Spann and more!

4:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Hums of The Lovin’ Spoonful by The Lovin’ Spoonful

The Lovin’ Spoonful take their second turn with their Album of The Week, a 1966 release that spawned four singles, including a #1 hit with Summer In The City.

7:00 p.m. James Cotton Live at Antoine’s Night Club, New Orleans, LA, Recorded July 1987

I’ve seen James Cotton a couple of times, once here in Boston and once on a business trip to Chicago, but there is surprisingly few ‘live’ James Cotton performances captured on tape. We do have this one, however, recorded at the famous Antoine’s in New Orleans sometime in July of 1987.

It’s Tuesday Bluesday!

Good morning, workers! A brand new week is upon is and we’ve got a brand new Stone Poneys playlist to start off the day, but it doesn’t end there! Read on for details!

Here’s your musical lineup:

11:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The Stone Poneys NEW!

When Linda Ronstadt first left Tucson for LA to make music, she met Bobby Kimmel who proposed they start a band. Then came Kenny Edwards (who would become an integral part of her solo career band). Thus, The Stone Poneys were born. The rest, as they say, is musical history as Linda Ronstadt forged an amazing career that earned her the title ‘The Queen of Rock’ in a male-dominated world. These early days are often forgotten, but not here in The Mermaid Lounge as we give you a brand new Spotlight featuring her days as a Stone Poney.

3:00 p.m. Seasons: Various Artists

Yes, we are about to change seasons once again, so we think this is a good time to play this one since we’ve not heard it since the last snowfall. You’ll hear Bobbie Gentry, Janis Ian, Simon & Garfunkel, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Byrds, Hoyt Axton, Sly & The Family Stone, John Prine, The Rolling Stones, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Band, Nina Simone, The Kinks, The Zombies, Electric Light Orchestra, Jefferson Airplane, James Taylor and more!

7:00 p.m. Hot Tuna Live at The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, March 4, 1988

Closing out the programming on Monday is another Lounge favorite, Hot Tuna. This one is live from The Fillmore West.

Before, in between and after we give you our big, wide Open Stream uninterrupted by commercial advertising and at no cost to you. This is non-profit radio in the extreme. Give us a listen. You won’t regret it.

New Stone Poneys!
