A brand new episode with Sarah Freels and Adam Rice at the desk, as it were!

2:00 p.m.      Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Live at The Paradise Club, Boston, MA (1978)

This is a retro rare gem. I’ll be honest, we edited out some Levi’s ads because this was a radio broadcast, so it may be a bit choppy. This is a very young, energetic Tom Petty and his crew.

5:00 p.m.     The Grateful Dead: Live at the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco (1966)

Our favorie jam band in an early live performance here.

10:00 p.m.   The #BecomeUngovernable House Playlist

Here’s the line-up:

10:00 a.m.    In the Spotlight: The Music of Linda Ronstadt

If, by chance, you haven’t seen The Sound of My Voice yet, you’d best hurry. It is not to be missed.

2:00 p.m.      In the Spotlight: The Music of John Lennon

From the Beatles, to the Plastic Ono Band, to his solo career, we salute one of the greatest of all time. The playlist includes the original demo version of Imagine in addition to the final released version. Happy Birthday, John.

6:00 p.m.      Petty Theft: The Covers

Not only was Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers one of the greatest rock n’roll bands of all time, but they just may have been the greatest cover band of all time. Here they work over everyone from Chuck Berry to The Grateful Dead.

10:00 p.m.    Bob Dylan & The Band: Music From Big Pink

One of the greatest albums of all time for sure.

Marsalis & Clapton, Muldaur & Dylan, and The Petty Party Continues

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We have a great line-up for you today as the Petty Party rocks on!

Marsalis & Clapton

11:00 a.m.    Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play the Blues: Live From Lincoln Center

2:00 p.m.      Tom Petty: Live and Loving It!

As we all know here in PettyLand: If you haven’t experienced the Heartbreakers live, then you haven’t experienced the Heartbreakers.

5:00 p.m.      Maria Muldaur Sings the Love Songs of Bob Dylan

Yeah. He wrote those too.

9:00 p.m.      Tom Petty’s Wildflowers

Tom Petty’s second solo album, released on November 1, 1994.

The Beatles, The Heartbreakers, The Traveling Wilburys and Aliens, Saturday, October 5, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Another full day as the Petty Party continues. Today, we have Tom Petty “live” with the Heartbreakers and recorded with the Traveling Wilburys.

Here’s the line-up:

10:00 a.m.    The Beatles: The Complete Apple Records Rooftop Concert

The fans loved this impromptu concert, but the British Bobbies were beside themselves trying to figure out where the music was coming from. It stopped traffic in the middle of London on a work day.

1:00 p.m.      Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Here’s some material you don’t hear every day, like Girl on LSD, Cabin Down Below and a spectacular 11-minute jam on one of my all-time favorite Petty songs, It’s Good To Be King.

4:00 p.m.      The Ungovernables Report

Our third and final airing over the weekend.

6:00 p.m.      In the Spotlight: The Music of The Traveling Wilburys

They didn’t do it for money. They didn’t go on the road. They were five friends who enjoyed each other’s company and had a blast making music together. Add legendary drummer Jim Keltner, and you cannot go wrong. We think it shows.

11:59 p.m.    Orson Welles’ Original Broadcast: War of the Worlds

What might seem amateurish to us today scared the living shit out of everyone back in 1938. Get the popcorn ready.

 

 

The Petty Party Continues and It’s Happy Birthday to Stevie Ray Vaughan!

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Thought we’d do something a bit different today, so we’re taking a close-up look at three Tom Petty albums, two with the Heartbreakers and one solo effort, Highway Companion, one of my all-time favorite Petty albums.

Blog photo 10-3

Here’s the line up:

10:00 a.m.   Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at Montreaux (1982 & 1985)

Today would have been SRV’s 65th birthday, born in the great year of 1954 (along with yours truly). This guy’s life was cut far too short. One of the greatest blues singers and guitarists ever.

1:00 p.m.     Tom Petty’s Highway Companion (released July 25, 2006)

Don’t bother to listen to the critics. All they ever wanted this guy to do is rock out. He’s a whole lot more than that. In fact, his bandmates never understood why he didn’t make an all-acoustic album. He apparently didn’t think he was a good enough guitar player to go there. (He may be no Mike Campbell, but he’s no slouch on that thing.) This is, in my humble opinion, one of the finest albums I’ve heard.

4:00 p.m.     Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Hypnotic Eye (released July 29, 2014)

The Heartbreakers’ thirteenth and final studio album was one of the best ever. Up until this release, I truly believed that Damn The Torpedoes, would go down in history as the band’s crowning achievement. Not so. (We will get to DTT also.)

7:00 p.m.     Tom Petty & The Hearbreakers’ Mojo (released July 15, 2010)

The Heartbreakers’ twelfth album was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs, and was created as a blues album. If you are a music aficionado and care to explore, there’s a cool little story behind this one.

Two Years Ago Today We Lost Tom Petty, October 2, 2019

Tom Petty left this world two years ago today at the age of 66. For his fans, his friends, his bandmates, and his family it was all too soon. This month we celebrate all the great music he gave us, and remember how much he loved his fans.

Tom-Petty-Heartbreakers

11:00 a.m.   Abby Martin with Richard Wolff: Understanding Marxism and Socialism

2:00 p.m.     Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live: Pack Up the Plantation!

This was the Heartbreakers’ first official “live” album, released in November of 1985. It was primarily recorded at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, but several tracks were recorded earlier.

5:00 p.m.     In the Spotlight: The Music of The Shelters

Let’s not forget that Tom Petty was also a producer and mentor to a band called The Shelters. He produced their first album, and was at work on their second with them when he passed. It has since been released, and we have updated the playlist accordingly.

7:00 p.m.     Tom Petty’s Final Interview

This is a wide-ranging interview about the future. It’s clear that Tom Petty was intending to be around for a while yet.

11:00 a.m.   Tom Petty: Deep Cuts and B-Sides

Here’s a chance to dig deep into the Tom Petty library and pull out songs you probably do not hear much on your local station. Most bands would kill for The Hearbreakers B-sides.

A musical chronicle of Bob Dylan’s 1986 tour with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers live from Sydney, Australia.

We’re Back! Programming for Saturday, September 28, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We are back with a bit of a new format, starting with lighter programming and more music on the weekends. We start out today with one new and one updated playlist.

the Lovin Spoonful

1:00 p.m.    Echoes From the Canyon: Various Artists

A play list focusing on the subject of the new documentary, “Echoes in the Canyon,” which chronicles the birth of the California sound as it came together in Laurel Canyon. Featuring the songs of The Mamas & The Papas, The Lovin’ Spoonful (pictured), Jackson Browne, The Byrds, and Joni Mitchell.

5:00 p.m.    In the Spotlight: The Music of The Shelters (Updated)

When we put together this play list originally (a few months ago), the Shelters were riding the success of their first album under the guidance and production of Tom Petty. Since then, their second album has been released and we have updated the play list to reflect that.

7:30 p.m.     The Ungovernables Report

News and notes from the world with Sarah Freels and Adam Rice putting their own little twist on it.

10:00 p.m.    Under the Influence: Various Artists

Life under the influence — some legal; some not!

It’s The Band, Petty, The Pretenders and a Very Special Concert, September 22, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We’re starting to get back in the swing of things with the station. We’re in the midst of revamping and realigning our planned programming, as well as trying to get our “on demand” section going. Please be patient as we grow.

10:00 a.m.    Petty Theft: The Covers

No doubt in anybody’s mind: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are the greatest cover band in music ever. Here they cover everybody from Carole King to Chuck Berry. Not to be missed.

1:00 p.m.      Steve Earle, Townes VanZandt, and Guy Clark “Live” at the Bluebird Cafe

I’m here to tell you this was a labor of love. The only outlet I could find that still sells this is Amazon. That’s not happening. In the immortal words of Liawatha Warren, “She persisted.” I did.  We’ve got it. And Jeff Bezos didn’t make a penny off it.

4:00 p.m.      In the Spotlight: The Music of The Band
