One of the greatest supergroups of all times was also all female, although only handful of music critics refer to Trio as a supergroup. They definitely are. Three powerhouses of country, rock and country rock united for a glorious period of time and produced some amazing music together. Today we have the final verisons, the outtakes and the alternative versions for you.

Undoubtedly a great lineup to start your work week. If you are lucky enough to be able to listen on the job, shut your door, pull up a tab, and tune us in. We’re on 24/7 with no commercial interruption and no credit card or subscription required. We’re all about the music.

The Trio Sessions

Sunday’s are Simple in The Lounge, So Kick Back With Our New AOW and the ‘Travelin’ Fever’ Multi-Artist EP, June 25, 2023

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?

Sunday Funday!

8:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Paul McCartney NEW!

Paul McCartney is undoubtedly one of the most successful singer-songwriters of his generation with absolutely nothing left to prove to the world. Yet, he’s still out there making music and filling venues at the age of 81. And yes, it all began with The Beatles all those years ago, but this particular playlist is McCartney without The Beatles. And that’s because we still have yet to do Lennon-McCartney as our featured singer-songwriters. (That is coming.) Macca’s body of work since The Beatles split is immense, beginning with his ten years leading Wings (longer than The Beatles existed) and his solo work. This is how we kick off his birthday bash weekend. More tomorrow.

We’re here 24/7, folks, and we’re totally free of charge. We also fight capitalism at every turn because there is absolutely no commercial advertising. Join our international community this weekend.

In spite of the fact that Rickie Lee Jones has been at it for five decades, she has shunned the limelight. It’s only fitting, then, that we feature her as this week’s singer-songwriter.
