August 29, 2023 – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good morning, musicologists. Are you aware of the fact that the earth is 71% water? I know I’ve hammered that one home before. Be that as it may, it is only fitting that we have a playlist dedicated to water.

Here’s your midweek music:

9:00 a.m. Water, Water Everywhere: Various Artists

Music about water in all its forms from Paul McCartney, Deep Purple, Joe Cocker, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Ois Redding, The Doobie Brothers, Valerie Carter, Bob Dylan, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Al Green, Loggins & Messina, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Linda Ronstadt, Spirit, The Grass Roots, The Beach Boys, Lindisfarne, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Steely Dan, Tom Rush, Donovan, America, Johnny Rivers and more!

4:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Brian Wilson

Brian Wilson gets his second airing as our featured singer-songwriter, primarily for his work as co-founder of The Beach Boys.

8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Ellen McIlwaine

Ellen McIlwaine had it all but, for some reason, fame eluded her. Yet she left behind a serious body of blues work, including talents that earned her the nickname ‘The Godess of Slide Guitar.” Drop in and give her a listen this evening.

We’re on 24/7 at no charge to you and with no commercial advertising interruption. That’s because we don’t accept any commercial advertising. Drop by and see for yourselves.

Welcome to Midweek!

Good morning, global bluesologists and welcome to another Tuesday Bluesday here. Today we’ve got Delbert McClinton and The Blues Project on tap for opening and closing with our AOW in between.

Here’s today’s musical menagerie:

9:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Delbert McClinton

Delbert McClinton is a legend in Texas roots music. Primarily known as a blues and electric blues artist, singer, songwriter, harmonica player, piano player, Delbert McClinton knows how to combine country, blues, soul and rock n’ roll seamlessly into his own sound, as if there is no distinction between any of those genres. Listen up and listen in.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

This is the second airing of this great mindbending album, certainly one of the most influential albums of its time.
