It’s the beginning of two days of unemployed bliss here in The Mermaid Lounge and we keep it simple on Sundays with light programming and plenty of wide Open Stream.
Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:
11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Planet Waves by Bob Dylan NEW!
Another album turning fifty years old. This album was released on January 17, 1974 and reunited Dylan with his longtime collaborators, The Band (one of the finest in music history). Dylan’s fourteenth release, with a successful tour and plenty of PR, went to number one on the Billboard charts, a first for him. Planet Waves is our album of the week.
3:00 p.m. What’s In a Name: Various Artists
Janis Joplin sings about Bobby McGee, Linda Ronstadt sings about Justine, Steve Winwood sings about Valerie (about the late, great Valerie Carter), Bobbie Gentry sings the tale of Billie Joe McAllister who jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge, The Kinks tell the tale of Lola and Tony Joe White reveals all about Polk Salad Annie and her grandma. Other artists include The Beatles, Carly Simon, James Taylor, The Association, Joni Mitchell and more!
Before, in between and after we’ve got our great, big wide Open Stream. We’re continually updating our standard rotation. Last week we added The Roches, Ruth Brown, Ian & Sylvia, George Thoroughgood & The Destroyers and Doyle Bramhall III. We’ll be adding more this week. Join us.
