On Monday It’s ‘The Best of Reggae & Ska,’ New Live Joni Mitchell, and a Gov’t Mule ‘Spotlight’ Feature, October 6, 2025

Welcome back to the work week, music lovers! We open it up today with some great island music, then it’s brand new live Joni Mitchell vintage 1966, and then Gov’t Mule.

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

10:00 a.m. The Best of Reggae & Ska: Various Artists

This one’s coming up on a major update which could move it into EP status. We’ll have to see but, in the meantime, you’ll hear Bob Marley & The Wailers, Prince Buster, Desmond Dekker (with and without The Aces), Laurel Aitken, Judy Mowatt, Rita Marley, Derrick Morgan, Jimmy Cliff, The Rhythm Aces, Peter Tosh, Marcia Griffiths, The Jiving Juniors, and more!

Time for a trip in the Wayback Machine for this one, all the way to 1966 before Joni burst onto the “scene.” It may not be new, but it’s new to our station.

8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Gov’t Mule

We close it out with Gov’t Mule, a Southern bluesy jam band started by former Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes back in 1994.

It’s the beginning another work week, but not all is lost when you’ve got the best music on the planet to get you through. Just hit the button below and see for yourselves!

Here’s your Friday lineup:

10:00 a.m. The Best of Reggae & Ska: Various Artists

We’re heading for an EP with this one, but we’re not there yet. You’ll hear Bob Marley & The Wailers, Peter Tosh, Prince Buster, Jimmy Cliff, Laurel Aitken, Desmond Dekker & The Aces (and some without the Aces), Judy Mowatt, Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths, The Rhythm Aces, Derrick Morgan, and more!

4:00 p.m. Hot Tuna Live at The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, March 4, 1988

Rising up out of the ashes of Jefferson Airplane came the great blues-rock band Hot Tuna, led by Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady. Today we have them live from The Fillmore.

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of The Kinks

One of the best bands of The British Invasion that has stood the test of time, despite the battling Davies brothers. This is a great playlist, and a great way to close the programming.

This is a pretty eclectic chunk of programming today, but that is what we are all about. If you’re listening during the day, you know our stream is all in the eclectic zone. See for yourselves. The button is below!
