On Monday It’s ‘Travelin’ Fever’, Live John Prine, and Ian & Sylvia, February 3, 2025

I have a rare working Monday, but it is what it is. In spite of that, The Music Mermaid is ready to rock n’ roll here. We should report here that one of our house bands, some guys called The Beatles, took home two Grammys last night, 55 years after breaking up. We’ll be celebrating them midweek.

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

9:00 a.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

We start with songs about life on the road with Canned Heat, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Steve Miller Band, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Dan Fogelberg, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Eagles, Little Feat, The Band, Willie Nelson, Edwin Starr, Janis Joplin, Guy Clark, The Byrds, Asleep At The Wheels, Mudcrutch, The Traveling Wilburys, Tom Rush, Buffalo Springfield, The Guess Who and more!

4:00 p.m. John Prine Live at The Fifth Peg, Chicago, IL, November ?, 1970 NEW!

This is one of those rare performances for which we cannot pinpoint a date. The back story is fascinating. John Prine, a true American treasure, was originally a mailman who performed a few nights a week at various locations around the Chicago area. One of those venues was The Fifth Peg. On this night, a young Roger Ebert sat in on one of his performances. The rest, as they say, is musical history. This eventually resulted in an album called The Singing Mailman Delivers, and we include Ebert’s 2013 review along with his memories of the performance captured for the album.

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Ian & Sylvia

We close out the evening with a ‘Spotlight’ segment on Ian & Sylvia, a Canadian folk duo who eventually helped create the country-rock sound after moving to Nashville.

We’re here 24/7. Before, in between and after our programming, we give you our big, wide Open Stream. See for yourselves. We’re totally free and the button is below.

Sunday Brings Steely Dan’s “Pretzel Logic”, Our ‘Travelin’ Fever’ EP and More of Those Badass Guitarists, March 3, 2024

It’s Sunday Funday here in The Mermaid Lounge and we intro our new 50th birthday LP from Steely Dan, give you ‘Travelin’ Fever’ and volume two of Badass Guitarists.

Here’s your Sunday funday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan NEW!

Steely Dan’s third studio album was released on February 20, 1974 and became both a critical and commercial success. The single Rikki Don’t Lose That Number was the biggest single hit of the band’s career, but in my mind it wasn’t the only ‘hit’ on the album. Night By Night and With A Gun are pretty damned spectacular. Happy 50th!

1:00 p.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

More songs from the road from Canned Heat, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Steve Miller Band, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Dan Fogelberg, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Doors, The Eagles, Little Feat, The Band, Willie Nelson, Edwin Starr, Janis Joplin, Guy Clark, The Byrds, Joan Baez, Asleep At The Wheel, The Traveling Wilburys, Mudcrutch, Buffalo Springfield, Loggins & Messina, Tom Rush, The Guess Who, Ray Charles, the Marshall Tucker Band, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and more!

8:00 p.m. Badass Guitarists, Volume Two: Various Artists

Yes. Various artists who may not be the singers of the songs. You’ll hear the handiwork of Duane Allman, Albert Lee, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt, Andrew Gold, John Fogerty, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and more!

Sunday is an official ‘day of rest’ unless, of course, you work retail. I say we go back to the Blue Laws. No commercial establishments open on Sunday (except food stores). Time to take capitalism down a peg. Like us. We’re totally free of charge. We ask for no personal information. No tracking. No commercial advertising. Just music.

Sunday Funday!

Sunday’s are Simple in The Lounge, So Kick Back With Our New AOW and the ‘Travelin’ Fever’ Multi-Artist EP, June 25, 2023

Good morning, weekenders! It’s another relaxed Sunday when you’ll be treated to our wide Open Stream for most of the day! Kick your shoes off and relax.

Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Nashville Skyline by Bob Dylan NEW!

Undoubtedly one of my favorite Dylan albums as he immersed himself fully in the country music genre. The Nashville recording sessions also spawned some a session with the great Johnny Cash, which we’ve aired on this station many times and will again. One of the songs they recorded, The Girl From The North Country, appeared on this album. The country was in upheaval. Richard Nixon had been elected president in 1968. There were riots everywhere, and Bob Dylan arrived in Nashville and changed the conservative country music perspective. Said Kris Kristofferson, “Our generation owes him our artistic lives because he opened all the doors in Nashville when he did Blonde on Blonde and Nashville Skyline. The country scene was so conservative until he arrived. He brought in a whole new audience. He changed the way people thought about it – even the Grand Ole Opry was never the same again.”

3:00 p.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

Life on the road is always a big topic for musicians, whether it be by foot, boat, plane or train, and this multi-artist EP proves it. You’ll hear from Canned Heat, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Steve Miller Band, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Dan Fogelberg, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Doors, The Eagles, Little Feat, The Band, Willie Nelson, Edwin Starr, Janis Joplin, Guy Clark, The Byrds, Joan Baez, Asleep at The Wheel, The Travelin’ Wilburys, Mudcrutch, Loggins & Messina, Buffalo Springfield, Tom Rush, The Guess Who, Ray Charles, Emmylou Harris, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Del Shannon, the Marshall Tucker Band and more!

As always, before, in between and after the programming it’s wide Open Stream 24/7 at no charge to you. There are no commercial interruptions either. So, what are you waiting for?

Sunday Funday!

If you haven’t heard this masterpiece yet, this is your last chance to hear it here. Chrissie Hynde delivers what we consider to be the album of the year with her covers of lesser-known, underappreciated Bob Dylan songs. She did this during lockdown using cell phone technology. Not to be missed.

10:00 p.m. LIVE DEAD! The Grateful Dead Live at Selland Arena, Fresno, CA, July 19, 1974 NEW!

Another great live performance from The Dead, the world’s ultimate jam band! This one is live from the Selland Arena in Fresno.
