Bob Marley at The Beacon, Joni Mitchell at Red Rocks, Our Folk Music Playlist, and a New Album of the Week, Sunday, December 22, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We’ve got a full slate today, including Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Hypnotic Eye as our Album of the Week!

joni

Here’s today’s line up!

11:00 a.m. Bob Marley & The Wailers Live at The Beacon Theater, New York

2:00 p.m. Album of the Week: Hypnotic Eye, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

It should be no surprise that this is one great album. Just when I thought they’d never top or even equal Damn The Torpedoes, they did. The only surprise here is that this band continued to make great music and remain at the top so late into its career.

This was the band’s 13th and final studio album before Petty’s unexpected and untimely death, and was released on July 29, 2014. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200.

5:00 p.m. Joni Mitchell Live at Red Rocks 1983

9:00 p.m. Folk Music From A to Z

Hear Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Judy Collins, Odetta, Joni Mitchell, and more!

Tune us in, people. You won’t regret it.

“Western Wall,” Steely Dan in the Spotlight, Hendrix & Stills “In Sessions,” and Dusty in London, Friday, December 20, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Back to a full slate of four programs today (with plenty of open stream in between 24/7), and an inspirational decision to play “Western Wall.”

Linda & Emmylou

Here’s your line-up:

11:00 a.m. Western Wall, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris

I hate television, and I don’t watch it anymore. I knew Linda Ronstadt, one of my all-time favorite singers, was being honored by the Kennedy Center. So, I went looking for videos out there and I found them. None, however, were as moving as the tribute that Emmylou Harris paid to her friend and frequent collaborator.

It is in that spirit that we feature Western Wall, a beautiful collaboration between these two women. For me, the most striking thing about the album is the song selection and the composers featured. The set list is up already, and the composers of the songs appear there (please scroll to the bottom of the page).

Western Wall will, for absolute certain, do a stint as our Album of the Week. But that doesn’t mean we can’t feature it today!

2:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Steely Dan

5:00 p.m. Jimi Hendrix & Stephen Stills: “In Sessions” (1968)

9:00 p.m. Dusty in London, Dusty Springfield and the Lost British Recordings

Don’t miss it!

the pretenders-2)

9:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The Pretenders and Chrissie Hynde: Guitar Goddess

Tune in. Turn on. Drop out. Or something like that.

“Heart Like A Wheel,” Petty’s Zanier Side, the House Playlist, and the Allman Brothers at the Beacon, Tuesday, December 17, 2019

Here’s today’s snow day line-up:

Even the best of bands have a lighter, zanier side. There are long days on the road and even longer nights. And let’s face it. When it comes to lyrics, Petty was supreme.

5:00 p.m. The #BecomeUngovernable House Playlist

All the ungovernable songs we could find, and it seems we add one every couple of weeks!

9:00 p.m. The Allman Brothers Band Play All Night: Live @ The Beacon Theater
