Hammersmith Odeon – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good morning, work force, and welcome to Friday. Today we have three great solo artists on the bill with Bonnie Raitt live in the morning, Warren Zevon closing up the programming later and the final airing of singer-songwriter J.D. Souther’s feature.

Here’s your Friday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Bonnie Raitt Live at The Troubadour, West Hollywood, CA, February 15, 1972

Early Bonnie Raitt live at the iconic Troubadour, where so many great artists cut their youthful teeth.

4:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of J.D. Souther FINAL AIRING!

We bid a very fond farewell to J.D. Souther as our featured singer-songwriter late this afternoon. Tomorrow, there’ll be a brand new singer-songwriter feature.

8:00 p.m. Warren Zevon Live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK, January 25, 1988

We close out today’s programming with some ‘live’ Warren Zevon from Hammersmith Odeon, broadcast live on The BBC.

We’ve made it to Friday, and we’re getting you through the day in style here today with three great solo artist features. We’re free 24/7 with no commercial interruption. Tune us in and see how great radio can be.

Welcome to Friday!

Good Morning, Musicologists! We open up with Open Stream, then we pick up the programming pace with our second to last airing of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ Exodus album plus new live Warren Zevon broadcast by the BBC.

***We’ve got new live Warren Zevon in our 7:00 p.m. slot***

Here’s Thursday’s line-up:

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

We’re winding down on this weeks’ AOW offering. Our final airing will be Saturday. Many feel this is The Wailers’ finest album, and it did offer several great hits (Jammin’, One Love/People Get Ready, Three Little Birds), but I say it’s hard to pick this band’s best album. You decide.

7:00 p.m. Warren Zevon Live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, January 25, 1988 NEW!

This is new to us here in The Mermaid Lounge, and it was broadcast by the BBC back in the day. There is none of the usual open and closing remarks, but the songs are great. A tortured soul here, an imperfect person for sure (aren’t we all), a guy who burned some bridges in his time, but a musical genius nonetheless.

It’s Thursday and we’re over the hump. Treat yourselves by tuning us in. What could be better?
