Today We’ve Got Live Jefferson Airplane, the ‘Music From Laurel Canyon’ EP, and J.D. Souther, Friday, September 20, 2024

Good morning, music lovers! We’re on the cusp of the weekend here and we’ve got some great music lined up, including our tribute to the brilliant John David Souther.

Here’s your Friday lineup:

We’ve got one of the most iconic sixties bands to open things up, this time from The Fillmore East.

1:00 p.m. Music From Laurel Canyon: Various Artists

Laurel Canyon was a great two decade music cross-fertilization project and it produced music that was the first to challenge the British Invasion music dominating the American charts. In fact, they heard it in Britain and it immediately took hold. You’ll hear The Byrds, The Mamas & The Papas, Buffalo Springfield, The Beach Boys, The Doors, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, J.D. Souther, Harry Nilsson, Canned Heat, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, James Taylor, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and more!

8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of John David (J.D.) Souther

Speaking of the Laurel Canyon generation and those who pioneered country-rock, we sadly lost J.D. Souther on September 17, just about a week before he was scheduled to hit the road with Karla Bonoff. Souther was a songwriting legend, whose songs were tickets to fame for The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt, among others. Today, we put him In the Spotlight where he belongs.

We’re here 24/7 with no commercial interruption, and we’ve got some of the most eclectic programming on the planet. The button is below.
