Good morning, weekenders! It’s another relaxed Sunday when you’ll be treated to our wide Open Stream for most of the day! Kick your shoes off and relax.

Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Nashville Skyline by Bob Dylan NEW!

Undoubtedly one of my favorite Dylan albums as he immersed himself fully in the country music genre. The Nashville recording sessions also spawned some a session with the great Johnny Cash, which we’ve aired on this station many times and will again. One of the songs they recorded, The Girl From The North Country, appeared on this album. The country was in upheaval. Richard Nixon had been elected president in 1968. There were riots everywhere, and Bob Dylan arrived in Nashville and changed the conservative country music perspective. Said Kris Kristofferson, “Our generation owes him our artistic lives because he opened all the doors in Nashville when he did Blonde on Blonde and Nashville Skyline. The country scene was so conservative until he arrived. He brought in a whole new audience. He changed the way people thought about it – even the Grand Ole Opry was never the same again.”

3:00 p.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

Life on the road is always a big topic for musicians, whether it be by foot, boat, plane or train, and this multi-artist EP proves it. You’ll hear from Canned Heat, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Steve Miller Band, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Dan Fogelberg, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Doors, The Eagles, Little Feat, The Band, Willie Nelson, Edwin Starr, Janis Joplin, Guy Clark, The Byrds, Joan Baez, Asleep at The Wheel, The Travelin’ Wilburys, Mudcrutch, Loggins & Messina, Buffalo Springfield, Tom Rush, The Guess Who, Ray Charles, Emmylou Harris, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Del Shannon, the Marshall Tucker Band and more!

As always, before, in between and after the programming it’s wide Open Stream 24/7 at no charge to you. There are no commercial interruptions either. So, what are you waiting for?
