Spend the Day With America, Rickie Lee Jones and Volume Two of Our ‘Sixties Rotation’ on Saturday, September 28, 2024

Good morning, sunshines! Here we are again functioning as weekenders and we’ve got a great lineup for you today that starts with some new music (relatively speaking; all of our music is pretty old music) and wraps up with a trip in the Wayback Machine!

Here’s your Saturday lineup:

There are just some bands you are drawn to. This is one of those bands, in fact. I became an early adopter with A Horse With No Name. Over the years, they have made a lot of great music, much of which is buried on their albums. That’s the beauty of America. They were also innovative enough to catch the eye of a guy named George Martin.

3:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Rickie Lee Jones

The Spotlight is on Rickie Lee Jones, another female artists who is difficult to box into a style of music. Over her five-decade career she has recorded in various musical styles, including rock, R&B, pop, soul, and jazz.
