Good morning, music lovers. It’s a day to appreciate our Open Stream as we are going to leave it at that all day and night, right up until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow! Enjoy!
Remember, there’s never any advertising. We’re completely free. And there are no DJ’s to talk through your songs. The button is below.
Good morning, musicologists and welcome to Thursday. We head for the weekend with music from across the pond, Simon & Garfunkel ‘Spotlight’ and live Clapton & Winwood.
Here’s Thursday’s lineup:
We kick it off with music from across the pond with The Beatles, The Who, Dave Mason, Electric Light Orchestra, Petula Clark, The Zombies, The Hollies, Dusty Springfield, Small Faces. Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Kinks, The Dave Clark Five, The Bee Gees, The Moody Blues, Rod Stewart, George Harrison, Them, Herman’s Hermits, The Rolling Stones, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Badfinger, The Yardbirds, Elton John, The Yardbirds, Lulu, Pink Floyd, Yes, The Animals, The Spencer Davis Group, Donovan, Cream and more!
One of the greatest duos of all time actually met and started out while in grammar school. Over their long career they sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Today they are ‘In the Spotlight’.
Two musical legends join forces for one great concert stint at Madison Square Garden. We’ve got it for you tonight.
Here we are again headed for the weekend. Thankfully, I might add. We’ll get you there in fine form. Just see for yourself. It’s free and effortless. The button is below. Just use it.
Good morning, musicologists, and welcome to the middle of the week. Tomorrow we’ll be heading for the weekend once again! We have a great Wednesday lineup.
Here’s your midweek lineup:
Being under the influence is the subject of many a song as evidenced by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Byrds, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Little Feat, Linda Ronstadt, The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, New Riders of The Purple Sage, Talking Heads, Neil Young, The Beatles, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Foreigner, Jonathan Edwards, John Lee Hooker, Donovan and more!
This afternoon we explore The Beatles psychedelic catalogue, an extraordinary journey. Did you know that Paperback Writer is considered one of the earliest examples of a psychedelic song?
Tonight we close it out with the Supergroups, like Cream, Blind Faith, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Highwaymen, The Super, Super Blues Band (Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf & Bo Diddley), Manassas, and two of the best damned supergroups of all time, Trio (Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris) and our faves, The Traveling Wilburys. You know, nobody ever speaks of Trio as a supergroup, at least not the music media which still entrenched in misogyny, but that is exactly what Trio was.
Like I said earlier, we’re headed for the weekend after today, and we aim to get you there in style. We’re on 24/7 with no commercial interruption. Ever. The button is below.
Good morning, musicologists! We’ve got a great set of programs for you today as we head to the weekend once again! Before, in between and after we’ve got our big, wide Open Stream running 24/7.
Here’s your Friday lineup:
It’s not quite an EP, but there are a hell of a lot of songs about rain out there from artists like The Beatles, Poco, Gordon Lightfoot, The Everly Brothers, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Carole King, Irma Thomas, Ann Peebles, The Eurythmics, Fats Domino, Led Zeppelin, Ray Charles, Warren Zevon, The Searchers, Taj Mahal, The Band, Traffic, Linda Ronstadt, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more!
Jeff Lynne’s great ELO is live early on from Winterland.
Undoubtedly one of our favorite playlists with songs about the man in the mack, Lucy who flies around the skies with diamonds, a lonely woman named Eleanor Rigby, a dog named Martha, and a guy named Bungalow Bill. And that’s just for starters.
We’re here 24/7 with no interruptions. No lie. No bait and switch. No credit card required. And no big-mouthed DJ’s. See for yourself. The button is below.
Good morning, musicologists and welcome to day two of uncertainty in the world, but not here in The Mermaid Lounge where we have our usual eclectic collection on tap!
Here’s Thursday’s musical lineup:
We start out with our House EP with music from Barry McGuire, The Temptations, Edwin Starr, Peter Tosh, The Beatles, T. Rex, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Country Joe & The Fish, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Joan Baez, CSNY, Pink Floyd, The Animals, Ten Years After, Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix, Three Dog Night, Jimmy Cliff, Richie Havens, Marvin Gaye, The Association, Phil Ochs, Tom Rush, The Band and more!
An American treasure with a beautiful voice. She’s also a mean fiddle player. We give you her music from her time with Union Station, her unlikely pairing with Robert Plant, and as a solo artist.
We close with a live Hendrix performance in Berkeley, just four months before his death.
We’re here 24/7 and we play music 365 days a year at no cost to you, our listeners. There’s no commercial advertising and no chatty DJ’s to break the mood. The button is below. See for yourselves.
Good morning, musicologists! We inch toward the new year with trepidation given that The Orange Blob is back, but the music from The Mermaid Lounge will remain a constant.
Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:
We start off with Mudcrutch’s complete works. We haven’t had one of these for a while and it is long overdue. For those who may not know who Mudcrutch is (although I’d find that hard to believe at this stage), it was the band Tom Petty left Gainesville with and headed out to L.A. The band would not be successful until after it had morphed into Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers when Petty reunited it. They’re a damned fine band.
We have volume two today, which covers the mid-to-late sixties with The Mamas & The Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Presley, Buffalo Springfield, Sly & The Family Stone, The Temptations, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Roy Orbison, The Yardbirds, The Animals, Linda Ronstadt, Wilson Pickett, The Band, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, The Kinks, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimmy Cliff, Chuck Berry, The Byrds, Ray Charles, The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, The Four Tops, CSNY, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Joni Mitchell, B. B. King, Marvin Gaye and more!
We close out the day with George Harrison and his music with The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys and as a solo artist. He was known as ‘the quiet Beatle’, but Wilbury’s band mate and fiercely loyal friend, Tom Petty, differed with that assessment. You can read his take here.
We’re here every day with all music all day long. In between our programs, we offer a great rotating lineup of more than 27,000 songs. Nobody has that kind of playlist. See for yourselves. The button is below.
Here is your Merry Christmas music:
We start out with every single Beatles song ever made in chronological order. If you’re a Beatle fan like I am, this is your day.
After The Beatles, we have Open Stream with a Theme for several hours with songs about the night time, a multi-artist list that includes Warren Zevon, the J. Geils Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Creedence Clearwater Revival and more!
Then it’s back to our regular stream programming uninterrupted by commercial advertising. The button is below.
It’s Monday, Monday once again and we start off another week in style with our ‘Original Sixties Rotation’ EP, followed by some live Bonnie Raitt and Harry Nilsson bringing up the rear.
Here’s your Monday musical mayhem:
The music that inspired me comes from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Monkees, Sonny & Cher, Joe Cocker, Little Eva, Simon & Garfunkel, The Everly Brothers, The Searchers, Dusty Springfield, The Drifters, The Dave Clark Five, Johnny Rivers, Bob Dylan, The Animals, Petula Clark, Procol Harum, The Turtles, Del Shannon, The Temptations, James Brown, Fontella Bass, Blues Image, Booker T & The MGs, The Four Tops, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Them, The Left Banke, Fats Domino and more.
We’ve got some early Bonnie this afternoon, live from the famous Record Plant.
We all called him Nilsson. No Harry. He was a character and he was also a brilliant artist who achieved most of his fame in the early seventies.
We’re here every day playing the absolute best music on the planet at no cost. We’re totally free. We’re global. We do not run commercial advertising to interrupt the flow. And the button is, of course, below.
Good morning, musicologists! We’re back at the work week, but I’m one more week away from a week’s vacation from hardware hell. It’s my Christmas present to myself! In the meantime, we’ve got a great lineup for you today.
Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:
A great band that helped cement the San Francisco sound with the great Grace Slick on lead vocals. This band would also spawn Hot Tuna with Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, a band still in play today.
I would never have thought there would be so many songs that used the cowbell as an instrument, but this one is nearly an EP! You’ll hear The Beatles, The Alan Parson’s Project, Blind Faith, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, Edgar Winter, Electric Light Orchestra, Grateful Dead, The James Gang, Harry Nilsson, Journey, Led Zeppelin, The Pretenders and more!
We close out the evening with a great Neil Young concert with his number one back-up band, Crazy Horse.
It’s back to Monday. But it doesn’t have to be all bad because we’re here with the best damned music on the planet. The button is below.
Good morning, music lovers. We’re at midweek here in the Boston area with driving rain and temps in the sixties. Ridiculous. But in The Lounge it’s quite comfortable and there’s great music coming your way!
Here’s your midweek lineup:
Hey, we’ve all been here. No denying it. You’ll hear Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Byrds, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Little Feat, The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Talking Heads, Neil Young, The Beatles, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Foreigner, Jonathan Edwards, John Lee Hooker, Donovan and more!
The music pedigree runs deep in the Nelson family. Although technically defunct, POTR was a great little country-rock band and did a fine job on the road with Neil Young.
We close it out today with singer-songwriter John Hiatt in a fine performance at New York’s Bottom Line.
Blah. Blah. Blah. We’ll take a break from our usual closing. Suffice it to say that it’s a great day to hunker down and listen to some great music. The button is below.
