Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

10:00 a.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of America

Ah, yes, America. One of those great folk-rock bands who could push the limits of their musical genre focus. They had their hits, of course, but their absolute best and most creative music was buried on their albums. A lot of people were surprised that I liked this band when I was young, but what the hell do they know. A great listen here.

One of our newer playlists with featuring songs with great openings from The Beatles, Elton John, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Yes, Chicago, The Who, Johnny Rivers, Electric Light Orchestra, The Kinks, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers Band, The Temptations, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, ZZ Top, Badfinger, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steely Dan, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Paul Simon, The Chambers Brothers, and more.

Two unbelievably great acts together on one stage on Dylan’s True Confessions tour. It was a thing of beauty.

Jimmy Cliff is the stuff of legends. He’s a reggae, ska, rocksteady and soul singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and the only living reggae musician to ever hold The Order of Merit.
