Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Sing Just About Everyone, We Have Nothing But Heartbreak, and “Tapestry” Gets Its Turn, Sunday, June 7, 2020

It’s Sunday Funday, Ungovernables! We have Petty, Heartbreak, and Tapestry as Album of the Week. What could be better?

Here’s your Sunday Funday line-up!

11:00 a.m.   Petty Theft: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 

This is one of our most popular playlists, and we haven’t played it for a while, so we thought this would be a good day. The Heartbreakers was one of the best cover bands on the planet, without question. All you need to do is listen.

3:00 p.m.    Nothing But Heartbreak: Various Artists   NEW!

We have all been down this road, haven’t we? Some of us more than others, but we’ll save my obvious bad choices for another venue. Heartbreak is clearly a prime source of some great music. Our new playlist proves that. 

The track list is already up inder the Playlist tab. Please scroll to the bottom.

7:00 p.m.   Album of the Week: Tapestry by Carole King   NEW!

I literally wore this vinyl out. Then I had it on vinyl and 8-track. Then cassette. Then CD. Yeah. I’m fucking old. But this masterpiece never gets old. By the way, Carole King is one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Make this the day you tune us in. You will not regret it.

What the hell are you waiting for? We play the best music ever and there’s never a charge, no credit card required, and no personal information sought.

‘Deb’s Stream’ Debuts, Linda Ronstadt Hangs With Her Friends, and a Brand New “Inner Sanctum” on Monday, May 25, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! It’s another Monday, but it’s a holiday Monday…as much as it can be in such times. But one thing never changes here. The music’s always great!

Linda Dolly Emmylou B&W

Here’s your line-up for Memorial Day:

12:00 p.m.   The Inner Sanctum: Hunter From Beyond   NEW!

We open the week with our Fourth Episode of The Inner Sanctum. We hope you enjoy it. Bwaaahahahahaha!

3:00 p.m.     Deb’s Stream: The Best of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live   NEW!

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers were road warriors. I’ve always said you really cannot appreciate this band fully until you’ve at least heard them live (seeing them is what you’d imagine a ‘religious experience’ to be). This collection of songs represent my personal live favorites from one of our official house bands. (The Beatles are the other.)

6:00 p.m.    Linda Ronstadt & Friends

Like Tom Petty’s untimely death, Linda Ronstadt’s inability to sing is a rough one for me. I imagine she’d still be making pretty great music. What we have, however, is an amazing musical journey with a singer who could — quite literally — sing anything. We’re going to have some fun with Linda Ronstadt over this summer.

We Have a New ‘Inner Sanctum’ Episode, Led Zeppelin in the Spotlight, and Mudcrutch Monday, on May 11, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We’re back at another Monday, and we have some great music and mayhem on tap.

led-zeppelin-mn-1130_af19affb5326b337be3b41f0b977fe4a.fit-760w

Here’s your Monday line-up!

11:00 a.m.   The Inner Sanctum: Dead Reckoning

We move on to Episode 2 of our old time radio show, The Inner Sanctum.

2:00 p.m.     Mudcrutch Monday!

Today in the Spotlight, we have Mudcrutch. The band that would morph into the force that’s known as Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. In reality, Mudcrutch was a force unto itself, returning under Petty in 2008 to make some brilliant music. Failing to see this band during it’s small-venue tour in 2016 is one of the great regrets of my musical life.

6:00 p.m.     In the Spotlight: The Music of Led Zeppelin   NEW!

We’re spending some quality time with the original headbangers tonight. Formed in London in 1968, they celebrated their 50th year in service to the musical masses in 2018. 

Where you at? Tune us in. We’re free and always will be.

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Music is my great release in a time of stress, and I’m grateful to have #BecomeUngovernable Radio. You should give it a shot and tune us in. We’re rockin’ out with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Crank it up.

Petty on stage-another great fucking photo

Here’s today’s programming!

2:00 p.m.    Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: The Live Anthology, Parts 1 & 2

Canada has given us some brilliant musicians, Joni Mitchell being one of them. Court & Spark was Mitchell’s sixth studio album and it was released on New Year’s Day, 1974.

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.
