It’s Mudcrutch Monday & New “Live” Music From Steve Winwood, March 16, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! How are we? Getting ready for the big shut down? You’d better tune us in. We’ll be going here 24/7 with non-stop music. Today, it’s a Mudcrutch Monday.

Mudcrutch-Blurt-John-Boydston-Tabernacle-2016-4

Here’s today’s line-up:

2:00 p.m.    Steve Winwood Live at The Estival Jazz Festival, Lugano NEW!

The veteran of the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith and his own successful solo career live at The Estival Jazz Festival.

5:00 p.m.    Mudcrutch Madness!

The band that would eventually morph into Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers is another great story in an already legendary musical career. Formed in 1970 by teens in Gainesville, Florida (including Petty), they would morph into the Heartbreakers, and the rest is history. But Tom Petty would bring them back in 2009, and they blew the doors off venues during their 2016 tour.

It’a The Sixties On Sunday & Our New Album of the Week (Who’s Next), March 15, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Yes, it’s our monthly Sixties on Sunday play day, and we introduce our brand new Album of the Week!

The Sixties Rotation

Here’s your programming, and don’t be fooled by the light programming! Tune us in!

11:00 a.m.     Album of the Week: Who’s Next, by The Who   NEW!

Who’s Next was the fifth studio album released by The Who. It was born from what was intended to be a follow-up multi-media opera to Tommy called Lifehouse written by Pete Townshend. In fact, the only song not originally from Lifehouse was My Wife, written by John Entwhistle.

Regardless of how it came about, Who’s Next is a great album with a bunch of really great songs. Not every album has to be a ‘concept’ album to be relevant. 

2:00 p.m.      The Sixties on Sunday: The Playlist

From the British Invasion to Woodstock and beyond. The best music on the planet. Now a monthly staple on #BecomeUngovernable Radio!

Tune in. Turn on. Drop out. Fuck this government.

Sixty-Six at 66 Returns, and A Special Tribute To a Special Album’s 40th Anniversary, Friday, March 13, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! When in doubt, you got to kick the jams out. That’s what we’re doing today.

Dead for Post

Here’s your line-up for Friday the 13th!

12:00 p.m.     Sixty-Six at 66!

First aired on February 7, I chose 66 of my favorite songs ever (67 if you count the one for good luck) on my 66th birthday.

8:00 p.m.       Happy 40th Release Anniversary: Linda Ronstadt’s Mad Love NEW!

We are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of Linda Ronstadt’s new wave masterpiece, Mad Love. About Linda’s place in music history, there can be absolutely no doubt.  And there can be no doubt about where this album lies in her repertoire:

“Forty years later and Mad Love remains a testament to true artistry and following your gut when all those around are telling you not to. Although Ronstadt no longer sings, her legacy is not just her immense canon of work, but one of a woman who fearlessly defied all of the rules and did what she wanted, when she wanted, how she wanted and in the most exquisite manner that only she knew how to pull off.”

Chicago “Live” at Tanglewood and Joni Mitchell “Live” in Cambridge For a New England Feel, and We Feature Two Albums Today, Tuesday, March 10, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Most of the time the way I choose stuff is serendipity. So it was this morning when I made these selections. I just realized both live performances were in Massachusetts, my home state.

Chicago-resize

Here’s Tuesday’s line-up:

Chicago Live at Tanglewood, Lenox, MA (1970)  NEW!

Undoubtedly, one of my favorite bands. That is, when Chicago was Terry Kath’s band, that breezy, innovative jazzy rock band. By the way, Terry Kath was a monster on that guitar. I’m not a fan of the Peter Cetera Chicago of the born-again elevator music rock genre. But this iteration of Chicago? Wow. They were awesome.

2:00 p.m.      Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon

This album was released on this day in 1973, and proceeded to spend 741 weeks on the Billboard charts before falling off in 1988. In 1998, it was certified 15-times platinum, which means it sold 15 million copies. Although this was just our Album of the Week in January, we feel the need to pay it the respect it deserves on this anniversary.

5:00 p.m.      Joni Mitchell Live at Club 47, Cambridge, MA

Joni Mitchell wasn’t the only one to play here early on. Both Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt did also. By the time I was old enough to visit, it was called Passim’s. It was on a cold, snowy night that my friends and I went in for a drink and discovered Guy Clark. A great venue.

9:00 p.m.      Album of the Week: Blind Faith, by Blind Faith

The only album Blind Faith ever made is our actual Album of the Week this week.

Feed your ungovernable side. Tune us in.

Good Morning, Ungovernables! It’s the damned weekend, and we’ve got a great line-up for today, including two new playlists!

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real

11:00 a.m.     Music From the Movie The Harder They Come, Jimmy Cliff & Friends

The final airing of The Doors, probably the most important album to the psychedelic music movement. Tomorrow, we feature a brand new album.

5:00 p.m.       In the Spotlight: Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real     NEW!

Yeah, it’s Willie’s boy, and this is one sweet band. Promise of the Real is also Neil Young’s new road band. Don’t miss this.

10:00 p.m.    Live Dead: The Grateful Dead, Europe ’72, Newcastle (April 11, 1972)   NEW!

We continue on with the Europe ’72 tour this week. As I’ve said, the beauty of The Dead is that no two concerts ever sound the same…or even have the same songs!

Tune us in while you clean the house, or whatever you do when you’re not slaving for the man (or the woman).
