We did vow no politics, but these are the times that call for stepping outside those promises. And we’d like to tell you that we’re anti-capitalist because capitalism gone mad is what has brought us here. The button is below.

The Psychedelic Express is Back!

Monday Brings ‘Under The Sun & Moon,’ a Jimmy Webb ‘Spotlight’ and Ringo’s Best Drum Performances, March 31, 2025

Good morning, music lovers. We’re back to the work week, and we’ve got great music on tap starting with our ‘Under The Sun & Moon’ playlist, then it’s a different kind of ‘Spotlight’ feature and some of Ringo’s most masterful drumming.

Here’s your Monday, Monday musical lineup:

10:00 a.m. Under The Sun & Moon: Various Artists

Not an EP, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get there. So far, we’ve got music from The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Linda Ronstadt, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Little Feat, Donovan, Neil Young, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, America, The Animals, Gordon Lightfoot, Maria Muldaur, The Wallflowers, Valerie Carter, The Kinks, Shawn Colvin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Laura Nyro, Cream and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Jimmy Webb NEW!

When you talk about musical geniuses, there is no leaving this guy out of the conversation. He is one of the most prolific songwriters of his generation and a fountain of music for so many singers. However, the two most notable beneficiaries of his songwriting genius are Linda Ronstadt and Glen Campbell and, in turn, they have done his songs justice. This is a different kind of playlist, and we’re sure you’re going to enjoy it.

8:00 p.m. The Beatles: Ringo Starr’s Drumming Genius

What can you say about Ringo Starr? Plenty. The man has recorded over 40 albums since The Beatles broke up, including his latest, Look Up, a country album in collaboration with the great T-Bone Burnett. (We’ll be featuring that release soon, by the way.) But Ringo’s favorite thing to do remains the same as always: Playing the drums. And he’s not just any drummer. Just ask his peers. (This is an excellent video.) Tonight we have what we think are his best drum efforts with The Fab Four.

We’re on 24/7 without any commercial interruption playing, without a doubt, the most eclectic music collection anywhere on the web or the airwaves. We do not simply give women a venue in passing; we feature more women’s music than any other station. See for yourselves. The button is below.

Let’s get through this together. Music helps. And we’re beholding to no billionaires here. We’re totally free and anti-capitalist. The button is below.
