Morning, folks! We are on track for a great day here in The Mermaid Lounge with a trip to Motor City planned, our AOW, and some rare gems from Kate & Anna McGarrigle.
Here’s your musical lineup:
9:00 a.m. M is For Motown: Various Artists
We’ve got five hours of the music that made America dance with Barrett Strong, Eddie Kendricks, Edwin Starr, Eddie Holland, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Jackson Five, Kim Weston, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, Marvin Gaye, Martha & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Four Tops, The Isley Brothers, The Temptations, The Contours, Rare Earth, Mary Wells, Tammi Terrell, Diana Ross & The Supremes and more!
4:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Sittin’ In by Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina
Back again for another airing of what was first intended to be a solo album by Loggins, but became Loggins & Messina’s first album together.
7:00 p.m. Tell My Sister: The Unreleased Recordings of Kate & Anna McGarrigle
We haven’t aired this one for a while, so this is a good time to break it out. This is a rare gem for fans of the McGarrigle sisters, two of the greatest singer-songwriters ever who became fertile ground for the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Judy Collins and others. Their covers led to Kate & Anna McGarrigle getting their first recording contract.
Get on in here. The Mermaid Lounge is open to all and we’re open all night. What better day to head toward the weekend?
