On Thursday We’ve Got ‘Travelin’ Fever’, Live Neil Young and a Bobbie Gentry ‘Spotlight’ Feature, March 6, 2025

Good morning, music lovers and we’re over the midweek hump. Today we’ve got our ‘Travelin’ Fever’ EP, a great Neil Young performance and a Bobbie Gentry ‘Spotlight.’

Here’s your Thursday lineup:

9:00 a.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

Life on the road is a popular subject in music. 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, The Doors, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Eagles, Little Feat, The Band, Willie Nelson, Edwin Starr, Janis Joplin, Guy Clark, The Byrds, Asleep at The Wheel, Mudcrutch, Tom Rush, The Traveling Wilburys, Buffalo Springfield, The Guess Who and more!

4:00 p.m. Neil Young Live at The Cellar Door, Washington, D.C., November 30-December 2, 1970

This afternoon we’ve got Neil Young recorded live during his 1970 stint at The Cellar Door. Speaking of Neil Young, he will be giving a free concert in Ukraine in support of a nation that is truly fighting for democracy.

8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Bobbie Gentry

Bobbie Gentry never wanted to be a star. She wanted to write songs for other people to sing. However, once she released Ode To Billie Joe, that was not possible. She charted 11 singles during her career then, one day, she simply dropped out. She was a brilliant song writer and a great singer. She is also one of the first women to write and produce her own music. She’s a legend.

We’re here in good times and bad. These are decidedly bad times for all of us, but we must hang in. Great music at no cost that’s available all day and all night is a good antidote. The button is below.

At Midweek, It’s Our ‘Under The Influence’ EP, a Poco ‘Spotlight’ and The Band Live in D.C., On Wednesday, February 5, 2025

Good morning, music lovers and welcome to midweek. We’ve got a great lineup today, and we’re starting out ‘Under The Influence.’

Here’s your midweek lineup:

9:00 a.m. Under The Influence: Various Artists

I’m on the run this morning, so my artist list will be a bit shorter. We give you songs about substances, both legal and illegal, from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Byrds, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Little Feat, The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, New Riders of The Purple Sage, Talking Heads, Neil Young and more!

4:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Poco

This afternoon we give you some great music from one of the very first legitimate country-rock bands.

8:00 p.m. The Band Live at The Carter Baron Amphitheater, Washington, D.C., July 17, 1976

We close with one of the greatest bands in history. They started out as Dylan’s back-up band (hence the name, The Band), and ended up being one of the most revered and influential musical entities in history.

The usual. We’re free. We’re commercial-free. And we don’t have overly talkative DJs to muck up the airwaves. The button is below.

Thursday It’s Volume Two of Our Sixties Rotation, a Roy Orbison ‘Spotlight’ and Live Little Feat, January 30, 2025

Today we’ve got volume two of ‘The Sixties Rotation’ EP, a Spotlight featuring the Caruso of Rock, and live Little Feat, this time featuring the great Lowell George.

Here’s your musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Sixties Rotation, Volume Two: Various Artists

We’re on the mid-to-late portion of the sixties with The Mamas & The Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Presley, Buffalo Springfield, Sly & The Family Stone, The Temptations, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Roy Orbison, The Animals, The Beatles, Linda Ronstadt, Wilson Pickett, The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, The Band, The Kinks, Jimmy Cliff, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chuck Berry, James Brown, Blind Faith, The Four Tops, CSNY, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, B. B. King, and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Roy Orbison

One of the pioneers of rock n’ roll who was blessed with a five-octave range and was known as The Caruso of Rock. He was also a Traveling Wilbury, and his mates considered him one of the best singers on the planet.

8:00 p.m. Little Feat Live at The Orpheum Theater, Boston, MA, October 31, 1975

I had the pleasure of attending this concert back in the day, and I consider it one of their best. It was broadcast on the iconic Boston radio station WBCN, and resulted in the Halloween night live album Hellzapoppin’. Don’t get me wrong. Little Feat without Lowell George has acquitted itself well. However, Little Feat is only really Little Feat with Lowell at the helm.

We’re here like clockwork all day and all night long, uninterrupted by commercials and chatty DJ’s. We’re all about the music, and we’re totally free of charge. The button is below.

It’s Midweek and We’re ‘Under The Influence’ With The Beatles and The Supergroups, Wednesday, January 8, 2025

Here’s your midweek lineup:

9:00 a.m. Under The Influence: Various Artists

4:00 p.m. Trippin’ With The Beatles

8:00 p.m. Sounds of The Supergroups, Volume One: Various Artists

Tonight we close it out with the Supergroups, like Cream, Blind Faith, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Highwaymen, The Super, Super Blues Band (Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf & Bo Diddley), Manassas, and two of the best damned supergroups of all time, Trio (Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris) and our faves, The Traveling Wilburys. You know, nobody ever speaks of Trio as a supergroup, at least not the music media which still entrenched in misogyny, but that is exactly what Trio was.

Like I said earlier, we’re headed for the weekend after today, and we aim to get you there in style. We’re on 24/7 with no commercial interruption. Ever. The button is below.

Today It’s Our ‘On the Map’ Playlist, Guy Clark ‘In the Spotlight’ and Live Little Feat on Monday, January 6, 2025

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Guy Clark

This guy was one of the best singer-songwriters on the planet, and I was exposed to his music quite by chance. My friends and I were out for a romp in Cambridge, Massachusetts on a very cold and snowy winter night and were looking for a place to land and get warm. We stopped at Passim’s Coffee House, paid the cover fee and watched one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen in my life. After that night, country rock was king and the fiddle was my new favorite instrument.

8:00 p.m. Little Feat Live From Neon Park, Various Locations Between December 12-20, 1995 NEW!

This is our very first live performance by Little Feat without the great Lowell George. Yes, they have kept the Feat’s spirit alive, but there will never be another Lowell George. The “Neon Park” is not real. It’s named after the artist who has created Little Feat’s album covers for decades. The music was recorded at Roseland Theater in Portland, The Fillmore in San Francisco, and The House of Blues in Los Angeles during their 1995 tour.

Before, in between and after our programmed selections we give you our big, wide Open Stream which continues to grow. We’re 100% free with no commercial advertising and no big-mouthed DJs. The button is below. See for yourselves.

We’re ‘Under The Influence’ at Midweek, Then It’s Lukas Nelson & POTR and Live John Hiatt, Wednesday, December 11, 2024

Good morning, music lovers. We’re at midweek here in the Boston area with driving rain and temps in the sixties. Ridiculous. But in The Lounge it’s quite comfortable and there’s great music coming your way!

Here’s your midweek lineup:

9:00 a.m. Under The Influence: Various Artists

Hey, we’ve all been here. No denying it. You’ll hear Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Byrds, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Little Feat, The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Talking Heads, Neil Young, The Beatles, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Foreigner, Jonathan Edwards, John Lee Hooker, Donovan and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real

The music pedigree runs deep in the Nelson family. Although technically defunct, POTR was a great little country-rock band and did a fine job on the road with Neil Young.

8:00 p.m. John Hiatt Live at The Bottom Line, New York, NY, October 7, 1988

We close it out today with singer-songwriter John Hiatt in a fine performance at New York’s Bottom Line.

Blah. Blah. Blah. We’ll take a break from our usual closing. Suffice it to say that it’s a great day to hunker down and listen to some great music. The button is below.

Sunday Brings Our ‘Travelin’ Fever’ EP, Live Townes Van Zandt, and a Karla Bonoff ‘Spotlight’ Feature, December 8, 2024

Good morning, music lovers! Life on the road and traveling are certainly two popular topics in music and we’ve got a great playlist today, followed by Townes Van Zandt live in London and closing with Karla Bonoff.

Here’s today’s musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

We’re on the road with 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, The Doors, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Eagles, Little Feat, The Band, Willie Nelson, Edwin Starr, Janis Joplin, Guy Clark, The Byrds, Asleep at The Wheel, Mudcrutch, The Traveling Wilburys, Tom Rush, Buffalo Springfield, The Guess Who and more!

4:00 p.m. Townes Van Zandt Live at Union Chapel, London, UK, April 29, 1994

The late, great singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt is in The Lounge this afternoon, possibly the only artist to approach the songwriting ability of Bob Dylan. Indeed, the discussion of whom is better continues. However, I say that we don’t have to continually pit one artist against the other. I love them both.

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Karla Bonoff

Speaking of singer-songwriters, we close out the evening with a ‘Spotlight’ feature with the great Karla Bonoff.

Before, in between and after our programming, we give you our big, wide Open Stream of incredible music. We don’t charge you. We don’t track you. We don’t ask you for information. The button is below.

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Christine McVie

The heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac, from our perspective here in The Lounge. However, Christine McVie started out in the British blues scene. Before joining Fleetwood Mac she was in Chicken Shack. She was also the legendary Christine Perfect (her maiden name). Today we give you her music from all three phases of her musical life.

8:00 p.m. Emmylou Harris & The Daniel Lanois Band Live at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, UK, November 23, 1995

Emmylou Harris has always managed to surround herself with the best possible bands from the very beginning: The Hot Band, The Nash Ramblers, Chris Hillman’s Desert Rose Band, and Spyboy. The Daniel Lanois Band does not break that streak.

We’re here 24/7 in the best of times and the darkest of times. We’re free. We’re not tracking anyone and we’re not selling you a bunch of crap. Or a subscription, for that matter. The button is below.

Today We Hit the Road With ‘Travelin’ Fever’, Then It’s a Carole King ‘Spotlight’ & Badfinger at the BBC, November 7, 2024

Good morning. First, I apologize for no blog entry yesterday; but the music show did go on. Yesterday’s Harris loss hit hard. First of all, I believe that some come along in politics who are special and I believe Kamala Harris is one of them. Many factors led to this point: misogyny being one of them; racism being another. We do not yet have gender equality. We must get there.

This morning, we start out on the road with our ‘Travelin’ Fever’ EP, then it’s Carole King ‘In the Spotlight’ and Badfinger at the BBC from 1972-1973.

Here’s your musical lineup for Thursday:

9:00 a.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

We start out hitting the road with Canned Heat, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Dan Fogelberg, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Eagles, Little Feat, The Band, Willie Nelson, Edwin Starr, Janis Joplin, Guy Clark, The Byrds, Asleep at The Wheel, Mudcrutch, The Travelin’ Wilburys, Tom Rush and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: Carole King

From The Brill Building to Tapestry and beyond, we put one of the greatest singer-songwriters on the planet ‘In The Spotlight’ today!

8:00 p.m. Badfinger Live at The BBC, London, UK, June 8, 1972 and August 10, 1973

We close it out with friends of The Beatles. Badfinger was truly one of the absolute best power pop bands on the planet. We close out the programming with them tonight.

We’re here 24/7 with no commercial interruption and at no charge to our listeners. Sit back and relax with the best music rotation on the planet! The button is below.

Ray Charles is legend. He’s often called the Genius. He pioneered soul music during the fifties, no small feat. We’ve got him In the Spotlight this afternoon.

8:00 p.m. Nothing But Heartbreak: Various Artists

The flip side of ‘love’ is ‘loss’ and that’s what this playlist is all about. You’ll hear Carole King, Elvis Presley, the J. Geils Band, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Rod Stewart, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, The Beatles, The Pretenders, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Aretha Franklin and more!
