It’s Friday With ‘Live’ Steely Dan, ‘Everybody But Bob’ and Our ‘Train Tracks’ Multi-Artist Playlist, March 22, 2024

Good morning and welcome to the end of the work week! We’ve got some early ‘live’ Steely Dan and two outstanding multi-artist playlists for you today.

Here’s your Friday playlists:

10:00 a.m. Steely Dan Live at The Record Plant, Los Angeles, CA, March 20, 1974 NEW!

This live in-studio concert was part of a promotion run by ABC Dunhill Records around the release of Countdown To Ecstasy and the hits that were spawned by that album. It was broadcast live over now-defunct (sadly) rock station KMET.

3:00 p.m. Everybody But Bob: Bob Dylan Cover Songs

It should come as no surprise that the man who won a Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting would boast an impressive lists of artists who have covered his songs. You’ll hear Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, George Harrison, Linda Ronstadt, Joan Baez, Chrissie Hynde, Tracy Nelson, The Band, Johnny Winter, Shawn Colvin, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Fairport Convention, The Byrds, Hot Tuna and more.

8:00 p.m. Train Tracks: Various Artists

We close out the programming with a playlist of songs about trains, runaway and otherwise, with Steve Winwood, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, New Riders of The Purple Sage, the Doobie Brothers, J.J. Cale, Chicken Shack, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Rosanne Cash, Allen Toussaint, The Eagles, Paul Simon, The Guess Who, Lucinda Williams, Guy Clark, Joni Mitchell and more!

While I am laboring in retail hell, you can be here listening to some of the best music on the planet! We’re on 24/7 with no interruption and at no cost to our listeners. We are also commercial-free rock n’ roll, soul, folk, blues, reggae, country and country-rock. Just hit the button below.

It’s Finally Friday!

Sundays are Simple Here. We’ve Got Our New AOW by The Kinks. Around Mid-Afternoon, the Ladies Take Over The Mermaid Lounge. August 13, 2023

Good morning, weekenders! We’ve got another ‘keep-it-simple’ Sunday on tap here with our new AOW and the ‘Ladies Day Out’ EP starting mid-afternoon!

Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Give The People What They Want by The Kinks NEW!

This was the nineteenth studio album by The Kinks, released in the U.S. in 1981 (but in 1982 in Europe). Although it’s what some might call an ‘unremarkable’ album, it did spawn three single releases, and it’s always a treat when Crissie Hynde shows up for your album (she had a thing going with Ray Davies a the time).

3:00 p.m. Ladies Day Out: Various Artists

At 3:00 p.m. sharp, the ladies of music take over in The Lounge. They’re partying with The Music Mermaid throughout the afternoon and into the evening. You’ll hear Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Carly Simon, Emmylou Harris, Petula Clark, Laua Nyro, Cilla Black, Irma Thomas, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Etta James, Janis Joplin, Carole King, Maria Muldaur, Lucinda Williams, Rosanne Cash, Eva Cassidy, Wendy Waldman, Shawn Colvin, The Ronettes, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Norah Jones, Phoebe Snow, Nicolette Larson, Sheryl Crow, Susan Tedeschi, Valerie Carter, Dusty Springfield, Dolly Parton and more!

Before, in between and after we give you our big, wide Open Stream. We’re never off air unless there is some kind of uncontrollable world calamity. We’re on 24/7 at no charge and with absolutely no commercial interruption. No lie.

Keep-It-Simple Sunday!

We’re at Midweek With ‘Music From Laurel Canyon’, Chrissie Hynde as our Singer-Songwriter and The Mamas & The Papas In The Spotlight, Wednesday, June 7, 2023

Good morning, musicologists! We’re at midweek and it’s all downhill to the weekend from here! We’ve go a wonderful lineup for you today, starting with our ‘Music From Laurel Canyon’ longplayer!

Here’s your midweek lineup:

9:00 a.m. Music From Laurel Canyon: Various Artists

The music that was heard ’round the world. Just as the British Invasion had an influence on American music, the music that came out of two generations of musicians in the states had the same effect overseas. You’ll hear The Byrds, The Mamas & The Papas, Buffalo Springfield, The Beach Boys, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Doors, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, The Monkees, CSNY, Manassas, John Mayall, The Eagles, J.D. Souther, Harry Nilsson, Canned Heat, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, James Taylor, the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, Judy Collins, Joan Baez and more!

4:00 p.m. The Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Chrissie Hynde

The heart and soul of The Pretenders takes her second spin as our featured singer-songwriter today.

8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The Mamas & The Papas

One of the most influential group to emerge from the Laurel Canyon scene takes center stage tonight for a spell as they deliver their beautiful harmonies. Their recording career may have been short, but their influence has been long.

Get rid of those midweek blues here at #BecomeUngovernable Radio as we spin the best music on the planet free of charge 24/7. And best of all, there’s absolutely no commercial advertising!

Midweek From Laurel Canyon!

We’ve Made It to Saturday and We’ve Got Our AOW, the ‘M is For Motown’ EP, and a New Singer-Songwriter, June 3, 2023

Good morning, music lovers! We have officially made it to the weekend and The Music Mermaid will deliver today with our Motown EP as the main feature!

Here’s today’s musical adventure:

9:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash FINAL AIRING!

Today we say farewell to a groundbreaking album. It may have generated only two hits, but every song is recognizable and the great supergroup behind it comes to mind instantly. This was their only album before adding Neil Young to the lineup.

11:00 a.m. M is For Motown: Various Artists

It was indeed the music that moved the world. It was also the music that made America dance line never before. You’ll hear Barrett Strong, Eddie Kendricks, Eddie Holland, Edwin Starr, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Jackson Five, Kim Weston, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, Marvin Gaye, Martha & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Four Tops, The Isley Brothers, The Temptations, The Contours, Rare Earth, Mary Wells, Tammi Terrell, Diana Ross & The Supremes and more!

8:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Chrissie Hynde NEW!

Tonight we introduce Chrissie Hynde as our featured singer-songwriter. Not only was she the primary songwriter for the great rock band, The Pretenders, but she was also a founding member, their guitarist (a monster on that thing) and their primary vocalist. For those who may not be well acquainted with Chrissie Hynde, we put this here.

Before, in between and after our programming, The Music Mermaid delivers our big, wide Open Stream for you. We promise you won’t hear the same stuff over and over and over. Best of all, we accept no commercial advertising and do not employ those rah-rah chatty, obnoxious DJ’s who love to hear themselves talk. It’s all about the music.

M is For Motown!

Monday Brings You Santana In the Spotlight, Hot Tuna ‘Live’ at The Fillmore, and The All-Girl Revue, Volume Five, on January 2, 2023

Good morning Latin rock lovers and musicologists alike! Today we give Santana its due by putting Carlos Santana and his great band In the Spotlight. We also give you some ‘live’ Hot Tuna and the Women wrap up the programming later.

Here’s today’s musical lineup:

11:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Santana NEW!

Guitar great Carlos Santana started his band in San Francisco back in 1966. They appeared for the first time at Woodstock in 1969. Santana has stood the test of time, but with many different lineups over the years. The one constant has been Carlos Santana. He recently reunited the original band on the road. We finally give Carlos Santana and his band the spotlight it deserves.

3:00 p.m. Hot Tuna Live at The Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, March 4, 1988

This great blues-rock band was formed in 1969 by Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, former members of the Jefferson Airplane. Like Santana, they’ve had many musical lineups over the yeard, but Kaukonen and Casady have remained the band’s centerpieces. Today we have them live from The Fillmore.

7:00 p.m. The All-Girl Revue Five, Various Artists

We close out the evening’s programming with the women of music. I keep typing the ‘women of rock’ but that would be inaccurate because these female-based playlists offer such a diverse array of styles. You’ll hear Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Jackie DeShannon, Chi Coltrane, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, Petula Clark, Irma Thomas, Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders), Christine McVie (Fleetwood Mac), Sheryl Crow, Shawn Colvin, Ann Peebles, Valerie Carter, Rosanne Cash, Lucinda Williams and more!

We’ve beefed up our rotation adding artists like blues artists like Ellen McIlwaine and early Christine McVie, new reggae/ska music from the I-Threes, Desmond Dekker and Rita Marley and we’ve got more waiting in the chute. We’re on 24/7 and we are totally free. No joke and no strings. We are also free of commercial advertising. You’re not risking a thing trying us out.

Just Push Play.

A rare repeat performance, but this one hasn’t been heard in these parts since summer 2020, so it’s like brand new. But then again, isn’t every one of their performances like brand new?

Here we are again, weekenders. It’s shaping up to be a good one, so this is the perfect day to tune us in for a little bit of a different approach to music on the airwaves.

Ladies Day Out!

We’ve Got Dylan’s 30th Anniversary Concert, Bonnie Raitt’s AOW, and Jerry Jeff Walker In the Spotlight, Thursday, April 28, 2022

Good Morning, Music Lovers! We’ve got a great Thursday line-up as we slide toward the end of the work week this week. So, read on for all the details!

The revelers at Dylan’s 30th Anniversary Concert!

Here’s your Thursday line-up:

11:00 a.m. Bob Dylan & Friends: The 30th Anniversary Concert, Madison Square Garden, New York, October 16, 1992

Bob collected a few of his friends for this one, including Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, George Harrison, The Band, Eric Clapton, Roger McGuinn, Chrissie Hynde, Stevie Wonder, Lou Reed, Tracy Chapman, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, The O’Jays, and many more!

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Just Like That… by Bonnie Raitt

This marks the next-to-last airing of Bonnie Raitt’s great new album, her first in six years. The final will come sometime on Saturday, so get in on this one while you can.

7:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Jerry Jeff Walker

We haven’t heard this for a while, and it is definitely time to break it out into the open again. Born Ronald Clyde Crosby, our friend Jerry Jeff knew he couldn’t cut it as one of the leaders of the country outlaw movement with that name. He is best known for writing the song Mr. Bojangles, but he was much more than that. My personal favorite album is It’s A Good Night For Singin’ and my all-time favorite JJW song is Very Short Time. Like it or not, we’re all on short time here.

Great collection of music here today. We’ve got all basic genres covered with the exception of Reggae, which we have plenty of in our daily stream. Join Germany, The Netherlands, Chile, Peru, Spain, the UK, Ireland, Greece, Australia, and points beyond today. It’s totally free, folks. Every day.

Cursor Here, Please.

Thursday Brings Joni Mitchell, Our AOW by John Mayall, and Bob Dylan’s Songs Sung by Everybody But Bob, March 24, 2022

Here’s Thursday’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. Joni Mitchell Live at the Santa Barbara Bowl, Santa Barbara, CA, September 9, 1979

In 1979, Joni Mitchell took to the road on her Shadows & Light Tour, and she brought her dream band along with her: Jaco Pastorius on Bass, Pat Metheny on Lead Guitar, Don Alias on Drums, Lyle Mays on Keys, and Michael Brecker on Sax. The result was simply sublime.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: The Sun Is Shining Down by John Mayall

This is the next-to-last airing of this week’s great Album of The Week by the Godfather of British Blues. Saturday will be your final opportunity to hear it here. We’ll have a new selection by Sunday when you roll out of bed.

7:00 p.m. Everybody But Bob: Various Artists

We’re On The Downslide Toward The Weekend, and We’ve Got a Brand New Bob Dylan Playlist With a Twist, Thursday, November 11, 2021

Good Morning, Dylanologists! This one came to me as I was falling askeep one night. I carry a little notebook wherever I got and I wrote it down. A few months later, I actually had time to pull it together in some fashion, although it will be one of those already o n my “update” list.

Bob Dylan and his friends on stage at the 30th Anniversary Tour

Here’s today’s programming:

11:00 a.m. Everybody But Bob: Various Artists NEW!

Bob Dylan has certainly made many friends and admirers in his musical life. The guy is amazing and has left an indelible mark on the music world.

In this playlist, we’re giving you Bob Dylan’s music sung by others who have drawn inspiration from him. You’ll hear Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Tracy Nelson, Jimi Hendrix, Mudcrutch, Leon Russell, Peter, Paul & Mary, Johnny Winter, Maria Muldaur, Joan Baez, The Byrds, The Band, Manfred Mann, Waylon Jennings, Bonnie Raitt, Richie Havens, Fairport Convention, George Harrison, Chrissie Hynde and more!

7:00 p.m. The Beatles: The Transformation

We’re on Part 2 of our mini Beatlefest tonight. These are some great years, from Rubber Soul through Magical Mystery Tour. The Beatles embraced psychedelic music full on during this time.

Here we are again with the many reasons you should consider turning us on (as the Beatles would say). Come on. Look. It doesn’t cost you a cent. All you need is a new browser tab and the ability to work a keyboard. No credit card. No personal information. No wasting time. Get on it.
