Good Morning, Ungovernables! We’ve got a full slate today, including Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Hypnotic Eye as our Album of the Week!

Here’s today’s line up!

11:00 a.m. Bob Marley & The Wailers Live at The Beacon Theater, New York

2:00 p.m. Album of the Week: Hypnotic Eye, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

It should be no surprise that this is one great album. Just when I thought they’d never top or even equal Damn The Torpedoes, they did. The only surprise here is that this band continued to make great music and remain at the top so late into its career.

This was the band’s 13th and final studio album before Petty’s unexpected and untimely death, and was released on July 29, 2014. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200.

5:00 p.m. Joni Mitchell Live at Red Rocks 1983

9:00 p.m. Folk Music From A to Z

Hear Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Judy Collins, Odetta, Joni Mitchell, and more!

Tune us in, people. You won’t regret it.

“Western Wall,” Steely Dan in the Spotlight, Hendrix & Stills “In Sessions,” and Dusty in London, Friday, December 20, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Back to a full slate of four programs today (with plenty of open stream in between 24/7), and an inspirational decision to play “Western Wall.”

Linda & Emmylou

Here’s your line-up:

11:00 a.m. Western Wall, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris

I hate television, and I don’t watch it anymore. I knew Linda Ronstadt, one of my all-time favorite singers, was being honored by the Kennedy Center. So, I went looking for videos out there and I found them. None, however, were as moving as the tribute that Emmylou Harris paid to her friend and frequent collaborator.

It is in that spirit that we feature Western Wall, a beautiful collaboration between these two women. For me, the most striking thing about the album is the song selection and the composers featured. The set list is up already, and the composers of the songs appear there (please scroll to the bottom of the page).

Western Wall will, for absolute certain, do a stint as our Album of the Week. But that doesn’t mean we can’t feature it today!

2:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Steely Dan

5:00 p.m. Jimi Hendrix & Stephen Stills: “In Sessions” (1968)

9:00 p.m. Dusty in London, Dusty Springfield and the Lost British Recordings

Don’t miss it!

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We’re on Open Streaming until 2 p.m. We’ve added quite a bit of new material to the standard rotation over the last several days and want it to have some airplay.

Here’s the programmed line-up:

2:00 p.m. Album of the Week: Heart Like A Wheel, Linda Ronstadt

The breakout album that put Ronstadt on the map for just about everyone. The rest is history.

5:00 p.m. Sweet Soul Music: 1965

The year was 1965, and everyone was listening to James Brown, The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Booker T. & The MGs, The Four Tops, The Supremes, and Wicked Wilson Pickett!

9:00 p.m. Wanted! The Outlaws!

The bona fide outlaws of country music; definitely not the bad pop bands with fiddles Tom Petty talks about. Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson and Tompal Glaser.

Don’t miss this one, Ungovernables!

“Heart Like A Wheel,” Petty’s Zanier Side, the House Playlist, and the Allman Brothers at the Beacon, Tuesday, December 17, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! It’s Tuesday and rumor has it it’s going to be snowy most of the day. What could be better than hunkering down with some great music?

Here’s today’s snow day line-up:

11:00 a.m. The Album of the Week: Linda Ronstadt’s Heart Like A Wheel

2:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: On the Zany Side

Even the best of bands have a lighter, zanier side. There are long days on the road and even longer nights. And let’s face it. When it comes to lyrics, Petty was supreme.

5:00 p.m. The #BecomeUngovernable House Playlist

All the ungovernable songs we could find, and it seems we add one every couple of weeks!

9:00 p.m. The Allman Brothers Band Play All Night: Live @ The Beacon Theater

Pull up seat, wrap yourself in a nice warm blaket (unless, of course, you live in a warm climate), and tune us in.
