Beatles-i-E2-99-A5-70s-38863736-1280-800

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m.     Album of the Week: Wanted! The Outlaws. by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Jessi Colter, and Tompall Glaser. 

This was basically a compilation album released in 1976 to capitalize on the “outlaw” country movement, which turned into one of the most popular country albums of all time, reaching no. 1 on the country charts and no. 10 on the pop charts. It was the first country album to be certified platinum (reaching sales of $1 million). The album also produced two singles, both featuring Waylon Jennings.

2:00 p.m.       Echoes From The Canyon

The fantastic music from Laurel Canyon that pioneered the California sound.

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

9:00 p.m.     Stephen Stills: Just Roll Tape

Rumor has it that Stephen Stills sat down in a recording studio while Judy Collins was making a record, and simply turned on the tape and started making music himself.

Don’t delay. Join the music revolution today!
