Here’s your Sunday Funday line-up

10:00 a.m.  In the Spotlight: The Music of The Beatles

Not much you can say about The Fab Four that hasn’t been said already. They literally changed everything.

3:00 p.m.    Album of the Week: Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones  NEW!

Let It Bleed is the eighth British and tenth American album made by The Rolling Stones, released in December 1969, shortly after the band’s North American tour. There was a lot of turmoil in the band during the recording of Let It Bleed. Brian Jones was in the midst of a drug meltdown, and was fired during the  making of this album. He was replaced by Mick Taylor. Jones would die about a month after being fired.

6:00 p.m.   Bob Marley & The Wailers Live at The Roxy  NEW!

Bob Marley was born in Nine Mile, British Jamaica on February 6, 1945, and began his musical career back in 1963. He is considered a pioneer in Reggae music, and developed his unique style by fusing elements of Reggae, Ska and Rocksteady. Marley helped to bring about the global acceptance of Reggae.

Tune us in. I promise you’ll be happy you did!

George Harrison in The Spotlight, The Heartbreakers Live at Rockpalast & The Beatles Live in Stockholm, Thursday, April 2, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We’re back with some great programming today, starting right off at 10:00 a.m. with George Harrison.

Beatles Stockholm 1963-3

Here’s your line-up:

10:00 a.m.   In the Spotlight: The Music of George Harrison

The quiet Beatle wasn’t so quiet after all. He was the first to release a solo effort after The Beatles parted ways (All Things Must Pass).  The Concert for Bangladesh was the first real “benefit” concert ever held. And he not only was the lead guitarist for The Beatles. He was a successful solo artist and a member of The Traveling Wilburys.

3:00 p.m.   Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Live at Rockpalast (1999)

Playing at Rockpalast is a rite of passage for rockers. Thousands of bands have played at Rockpalast, and the performances are broadcast live to the German public. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ 1999 performance is considered one of the best.  NEW!

8:00 p.m.   The Beatles: Live in Stockholm 1963

Back in 1963, the Beatles were babes and Beatlemania was in its infancy. Little did we know what madness would ensue!

10:00 p.m.  Album of the Week: Dan Fogelberg’s Souvenirs

Tune in. Turn on. Drop out.  www.tinyurl.com/becomeungovernableradio

Here’s Friday’s line-up:

11:00 a.m.      The Beatles: Live in Stockholm (1963)

2:00 p.m.        Linda Ronstadt: Live at the Capitol Theater (1976)

Dylan at Budokan, The “Let It Be” Sessions, Mudcrutch Madness & Van Morrison in the Spotlight, Friday, February 21, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! It’s a fine day of programming here at The Mermaid Lounge, home of #BecomeUngovernable Radio!

59994159c5140b66aec22906195048f8

Here’s your Friday line-up:

11:00 a.m.     Bob Dylan Live at Budokan (1979)

2:00 p.m.       The Beatles’ Let It Be Sessions: Rare and Unreleased

By the time Let It Be rolled around, the good times were few and far between for The Beatles. Still, some of the old magic was there during the sessions, as you can see from today’s photo. We have about 30 session minutes in this set, followed by Let It Be…Naked, the non-Phil Spector version of Let It Be.

5:00 p.m.       Mudcrutch Madness!

There are those who will say that Mudcrutch doesn’t look a thing like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, but I’ll argue that point. Mudcrutch looks exactly like TPHB: A bunch of friends who enjoy playing music together and just happen to be really good at it.

In this band, the band that launched The Heartbreakers, Tom Petty is the bassist. And although he fronts the band and sings many of the songs, others contribute vocally as well. The standout here is the brilliant version of Hungry No More recorded at Boston’s House of Blues in 2016, which appeared on the posthumously-released An American Treasure box set in 2018.

9:00 p.m.      In the Spotlight: The Music of Van Morrison

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Welcome to the Mermaid Lounge, where we seriously play the best music on the planet.

Beatles-i-E2-99-A5-70s-38863736-1280-800

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m.     Album of the Week: Wanted! The Outlaws. by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Jessi Colter, and Tompall Glaser. 

This was basically a compilation album released in 1976 to capitalize on the “outlaw” country movement, which turned into one of the most popular country albums of all time, reaching no. 1 on the country charts and no. 10 on the pop charts. It was the first country album to be certified platinum (reaching sales of $1 million). The album also produced two singles, both featuring Waylon Jennings.

2:00 p.m.       Echoes From The Canyon

The fantastic music from Laurel Canyon that pioneered the California sound.

5:00 p.m.      In the Spotlight: The Music of The Beatles

9:00 p.m.     Stephen Stills: Just Roll Tape

Rumor has it that Stephen Stills sat down in a recording studio while Judy Collins was making a record, and simply turned on the tape and started making music himself.

Don’t delay. Join the music revolution today!
