Good morning, musicologists! We have not one, but two, new bits of programming for you on this simple Sunday, our last day of 2023, including our long-awaited ‘Founders’ playlist!

Here’s your musical journey:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Bloodshot by The J. Geils Band NEW!

The band’s third studio album is the one that put them on the map, released on April 12, 1973. It includes their single release, Give It To Me. And no matter what anyone from Boston tells you, these are Boston’s original bad boys.

3:00 p.m.  The Founders: Various Artists NEW!

We finally found time to get this one done, paying homage to all of those who contributed to the birth of rock and roll: Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Big Mama Thornton, Big Joe Turner, Hank Williams, Bill Haley & The Comets, Ray Charles, The Drifters, Roy Orbison, Robert Johnson, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Muddy Waters.

It’s a great day to tune us in as we celebrate the end of 2023 and move into a brand new year with a tribute to those who helped get us here. Not to be missed!
