Monday Brings the ‘Rolling Thunder Revue’, a Yusuf/Cat Stevens ‘Spotlight’ and a Byrds Reunion on December 2, 2024

Back to the work week as Christmas season in retail is in full swing. It’s never pretty. But we have got some great Monday music on tap to help get you through.

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Bob Dylan: Selections From the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue

We start out with selections from Dylan’s 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour recorded in a variety of venues in the U.S. and Canada. Some of the folks accompanying Dylan on the tour are Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, T-Bone Burnett, Scarlet Rivera, Ronee Blakeley and others.

4:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Yusuf/Cat Stevens

I remember when Tea for The Tillerman came out. I practically wore out the grooves. The Cat, as we used to call him when we were young, had delivered some of the best music on the planet. I also remember how badly he was treated here in the U.S. after 9-11 simply because he had converted to Islam. One of the darkest times in history. We’ve got another coming up soon.

8:00 p.m. The Byrds Live at The Boarding House, San Francisco, CA, February 9, 1978

A reunion of one of the most consequential bands in music history broadcast live on KSAN 95 FM, San Francisco.

Another work week rolls around, but we’re at work delivering the best music on the planet 24/7, 365 days a year, at no charge and with absolutely no commercial interruption. We’re the anti-capitalist station. The button is below. Listening is believing.

THE BUTTON.

It’s a Laid Back Sunday Here With Our New AOW and our ‘Psychedelic Express’ EP Starting Mid-Afternoon, March 20, 2022

Good Morning, Music Lovers! We’ve got a great day on tap today with our brand new Album of The Week by John Mayall, and our trip aboard the ‘Psychedelic Express’ this afternoon!

***‘The Psychedelic Express’ Leaves the Station Promptly at 3:00 p.m. EST today!***

Here’s your Sunday line-up:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: The Sun Is Shining Down by John Mayall NEW!

John Mayall finally gave up the road in his 80th year, but he didn’t say anything about retirement, and that’s a very good thing because this is a great album. He has assembled a great band here and has pulled in Mike Campbell from The Heartbreakers to boot. The other very exciting guest is kick-ass violinist Scarlet Rivera, who I got to know from Bob Dylan’s Desire album, and his Rolling Thunder tour in ’75. I was so taken with her violin on Desire, that I went to see her live in concert back in the days of the Boston Music Hall.

3:00 p.m. The Psychedelic Express: Various Artists

All aboard, no tickets required. Just take a sit, and tune in, turn on, and drop out with Vanilla Fudge, Jefferson Airplane, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Pink Floyd, Cream, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Chambers Brothers, Donovan, Dr. John, Procol Harum, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Grateful Dead, The Velvet Underground, Tommy James & The Shondells,, Traffic, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Eric Burdon & War, Electric Light Orchestra, Canned Heat, Yes, Blind Faith, Doors, Country Joe & The Fish, and more!

And once again, before, in between and after we’ve got that wide Open Stream. Who knows what The Music Mermaid has up her sleeve. Tune us in and find out right now, because she’s currently in the driver’s seat!

Psychedelic Express!

Bob Dylan’s “Desire” is Album of the Week; After That, It’s Open Stream Sunday, February 2, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! It’s an easy, breezy day here at #BecomeUngovernable Radio, with the exception of our Album of the Week at high noon!

Bob Dylan Desire

Here’s your Sunday line-up:

12:00 noon Album of the Week: Bob Dylan’s Desire (1976)

Desire was Bob Dylan’s 17th studio album back in 1976, for a little perspective on the breadth and depth of this guy’s career. The woman behind the album was his estranged wife, Sara, but the woman backing him up on the album was also a factor.

Desire was the very first time I heard Emmylou Harris sing anywhere and really paid attention. I was hooked. It is her hauntingly beautiful vocals that stand out for me, along with the gypsy violin played by another woman, Scarlet Rivera. As for Dylan? He’s Dylan, man.

This is a great album. Enjoy.
