It’s a Wilbury Wednesday Today, But We Kick It Off With Our ‘Here Comes The Night’ Multi-Artist EP, March 20, 2024

We finally have a Wilbury Wednesday on tap with a great playlist, but we are kicking things off with our ‘Here Comes The Night’ multi-artist EP first!

Here’s your midweek musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. Here Comes The Night: Various Artists

We closed the show with songs about the morning the other day, so it’s only fitting we open today with songs about the night time. You’ll hear Warren Zevon, The J. Geils Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Them, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Electric Prunes, Phoebe Snow, Joe Walsh, The Eagles, The Beatles, John Cougar Mellencamp, The Doors, Poco, Emmylou Harris, Neil Diamond, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, Don McLean, Steve Winwood, The Traveling Wilburys, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Cliff and Bonnie Raitt.

7:00 p.m. The Traveling Wilburys: The Bootleg Collection

The best supergroup on the planet, bar none, is back with outtakes, alternative takes, works-in-progress and the final product in nearly three hours of great music. Not to be missed.

Before, in between and after we’ve got our big, wide Open Stream of more than 27,000 songs continually circulating for your listening pleasure…always at no charge to you and with absolutely no commercial interruption.

It’s Wilbury Wednesday!

Living is Easy With “Red Rose Speedway” as Our AOW and the ‘Here Comes The Night’ EP on Sunday, September 10, 2023

Good morning, weekenders! We are fully entrenched in the weekend music scene as we give you Red Rose Speedway as our AOW and lean into our ‘Here Comes The Night’ EP later!

Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Red Rose Speedway by Paul McCartney & Wings NEW!

This album perfectly signifies why I do not pay one iota of attention to music critics. Their opinions of albums — and all they are is opinions — is based on their personal experiences. Therefore, it’s up to me to evaluate albums for myself. And that’s what I do. Do I think every album we have chosen on this five-year journey has been a show-stopping tour de force? No. But that’s also not my criteria for choosing them. So, there. With Red Rose Speedway, we are giving you the bonus tracks that came from the re-release also.

3:00 p.m. Here Comes The Night: Various Artists

We’ve got our Here Comes The Night EP starting up this afternoon and taking you into the evening with Warren Zevon, the J. Geils Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Beatles, Them, Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bruce Springsteen, The Kinks, Electric Prunes, Phoebe Snow, Joe Walsh, The Eagles, The Ronettes, John Cougar Mellencamp, The Doors, Emmylou Harris, Poco, Neil Diamond, The Animals, The Band, The Rolling Stones, Don McLean, Steve Winwood, Cat Stevens, the Traveling Wilburys, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Cliff, Bonnie Raitt and more!

Sunday is the official day of rest for the #BecomeUngovernable Radio Team. It should be for you too, so kick back, dump the shoes and pour yourself a drink. Tune us in for the best music around at no charge and with no commercial advertising.

Here Comes The Night!

We Debut Our New ‘What’s In A Name’ EP, Give You Lukas Nelson & POTR, and Some ‘Live’ Joni Mitchell Later on Monday, May 1, 2023

Welcome to a brand new month! Today we debut a new EP we didn’t even realize we had, give you Willie’s boy at mid-afternoon, and close out with Joni Mitchell later.

Here’s your Monday, Monday music:

9:00 a.m. What’s In a Name: Various Artists NEW!

We’ve played this song before, but we didn’t realize how many hours of music this amounted to, so it becomes an official EP this morning! You’ll hear Them, The Velvet Underground, Neil Diamond, The Band, Linda Ronstadt, The Kinks, Steely Dan, Buddy Holly, Janis Joplin, Donovan, Carly Simon, Shawn Colvin, Warren Zevon, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Beatles, Jonathan Edwards, John Lennon, Chuck Berry and more!

3:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real

It’s been a spell since we’ve heard from these guys and this playlist is probably in need of an updating, which we shall undertake soon. But in the meantime, we’ve got them In the Spotlight at mid-afternoon today.

8:00 p.m. Joni Mitchell Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, February 3, 1973

We close out the programming on Monday with some great live Joni Mitchell from Carnegie Hall at the beginning of her illustrious career. She is a musical treasure who refuses to be defined by any one genre. Enjoy.

Hey, it’s Monday and by all measures, all Mondays are tough. Why not improve your situation with some great music? We’ve got it here for you courtesy of The Music Mermaid, your constant companion.

Monday, Monday

We Close The Work Week With Our ‘Here Comes The Night’ EP, and The Original All-Girl Revue, Friday, June 3, 2022

Well, here we are again at the end of another work week. And this time it really is the end of the work week for me because I am taking Saturday off. We’ve got a great EP and a visit from the women of music for you today. A great way to end the week.

***These are just some of the women you’ll hear tonight at 7:00 p.m.***

Here’s today’s musical landscape:

10:00 a.m. Here Comes The Night: Various Artists

You know, some of us are night owls. Some of us are at our best in the morning. This one’s for the night owl in all of us. We’ve got songs about the night from Warren Zevon, the J. Geils Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Them, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bruce Springsteen, The Kinks, The Electric Prunes, Phoebe Snow, Joe Walsh, The Eagles, The Ronettes, John Cougar Mellencamp, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, The Doors, Poco, Neil Diamond, The Animals, The Band, The Rolling Stones, Don McLean, Steve Winwood, Cat Stevens, The Traveling Wilburys, and more!

You’ll hear Ann Peebles, Aretha Franklin, Bobbie Gentry, Bonnie Raitt, Carly Simon, Carole King, Chi Coltrane, Trio (Dolly Parton/Linda Ronstadt/Emmylou Harris), Dusty Springfield, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Lulu, Mary Wells, Nicolette Larson, Patti Smith, Shawn Colvin, Gladys Knight & The Pips, and more!

As always, we run 24/7 totally free. That means before, in between and after our programming, we give you our great wide Open Stream from our 27,000+ song rotation. You’d be hard pressed to hear the same song twice in a week, let alone in a day. Tune us in. You won’t know unless you try. And it won’t cost a cent for you to find out.

TUNE. US. IN.

Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash Record Together, “Timeless” Debuts as Our Album of The Week, and ‘What’s In A Name’ Playlist Later, Sunday, February 28, 2021

We are off to a late start today, Music Lovers, but the music is still great in spite of all that. We have a brand new album of the week, epic Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, and a great playlist later this evening.

***Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash got together to record during breaks in the sessions for Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” album.***

Here’s today’s line-up:

1:00 p.m. Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash, Nashville 1969

While Bob Dylan was in Nashville recording his Nashville Skyline album, he and Johnny Cash decided to get together to record some music. Only one of those songs made it to Nashville Skyline. It was Girl From The North Country. The others were released much later. We have those recordings here for you today.

5:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Timeless, An All-Star Tribute to Hank Williams NEW!

This is one sweet album of all-stars paying their respects to a counry legend, Hank Williams, Sr. There are a number of memorable performances here, especially from Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris. However, the one that stands out for me is Tom Petty’s version of You’re Gonna’ Change (Or I’m A Gonna’ Leave). Listen for it. Other contributors include Mark Knopfler, Shery Crow, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams III, and Johnny Cash.

8:00 p.m. Deb’s Stream: What’s In A Name? Various Artists

We haven’t heard this one for a while, and it’s a good one. Songs with people’s names in them, either in the title or the lyrics. Begins at 8:00 p.m. tonight with contributions from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Beatles, Jonathan Edwards, Dolly Parton, Steely Dan, Linda Ronstadt, The Velvet Underground, The Turtles and more! Don’t miss it.

Tune us in because, well, we’re here playing great music for free. We never ask for a credit card, require a “subscription” or ask for your personal information. And no. We don’t track you either. Who has time for that? Not us. We also do not accept advertising, and we run 24/7. What else do you want?
