Saturday It’s Our Big Folk Music EP, Live Heartbreakers in N.C., and a Doris Troy ‘Spotlight’ Feature, March 22, 2025

Good morning, Weekenders! We’ve made it to Saturday and we’ve got ‘Folk Music From A-To-Z’, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers live in North Carolina, and a Doris Troy ‘Spotlight’.

Here’s your Saturday lineup:

9:00 a.m. Folk Music From A-To-Z: Various Artists

Today we begin with the musical genre responsible for the protest song, quite appropriate in these trying times. You’ll hear both the legends of the genre and those who keep it alive, like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Dave Van Ronk, John Prine, Peter, Paul & Mary, Odetta, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Arlo Guthrie, Bonnie Raitt, The Band, Eric Andersen, Tom Rush, Judy Collins, Nanci Griffith, Jesse Winchester, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Tim Hardin, The Kingston Trio, Led Belly, Simon & Garfunkel, Richie Havens, Townes Van Zandt, The Carter Family and more!

We’ve added a brand new Heartbreakers live performance to our collection and it debuts today!

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Doris Troy

Doris Troy is known here for her 1963 hit, Just One Look. She was a one-hit wonder; some immensely talented musicians seem to fall through the cracks. However, she eventually moved to England and signed with Apple Records and enjoyed considerable success there. She was known affectionately as Mama Soul. Today, we put her ‘In the Spotlight’ where she belongs.
