On Friday, It’s the ‘Sounds of the Supergroups,’ Rosanne Cash & Carlene Carter, & The Beatles, July 25, 2025

Good morning, music lovers! We’ve got a great non-EP lineup today, and that means plenty of big, wide Open Stream. The programming we offer today is, however, spectacular.

Here’s your Friday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Sounds of The Supergroups: Various Artists

The Traveling Wilburys are at the top of the heap, but there’s also Blind Faith, Cream, The Highwaymen, Trio, CSNY, The Super Blues Band, and Manassas. We’ll hear them all today!

4:00 p.m. The Unbroken Circle: The Music of Rosanne Cash & Carlene Carter

This is an excellent playlist of music from the daughters of Johnny Cash and June Carter, one a country legend and the other just a little bit rock and roll.

8:00 p.m. The Beatles: The Love Songs

We close it out with The Fab Four and a collection of their loves songs which are, without a doubt, some of the most beautiful ever created. From In My Life, to Yesterday, to Something, The Beatles were the masters.

We’re here 24/7 without interruption. We’re not here to sell you anything. We’re here to play the best music on the planet without any strings attached. See for yourselves. The button is below.

Just Push Play.

On Monday, It’s ‘The Trio Sessions,’ John Fogerty ‘In the Spotlight,’ and Jimi Hendrix Experience Live in L.A., On July 7, 2025

Good morning, music lovers! We’re back to Monday and we’ve got a great lineup to start your week, beginning with a supergroup that nobody who writes about music ever calls a ‘supergroup.’ That’s probably because they’re women. We will call them that because that’s exactly what Trio is, a supergroup.

Here’s your musical lineup:

10:00 a.m. The Trio Sessions: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt

A true, bona fide supergroup of brilliant women, who were also friends, made some incredible music together (much like the Traveling Wilburys). Today we give you the songs, some alternative versions, remixes, remasters, and more! A great way to start a Monday for sure.

4:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of John Fogerty

This afternoon we give you the legendary John Fogerty, leader, guitarist, and primary songwriter for Creedence Clearwater Revival, and also from his very successful solo career. Don’t be confused. He did release an album called The Blue Ride Rangers, but this was to distance himself from his CCR legend. Fogerty played all the instruments. It was his first solo release, and his name was not mentioned on the cover.

8:00 p.m. The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live at the Los Angeles Forum, Los Angeles, CA, April 26, 1969

It’s into the Wayback Machine for this one. The Experience was recorded live on this day during the band’s final North American tour.

Another day off from work is always welcome, even if it’s hot as the blazes outside. It certainly cool here in The Mermaid Lounge. We’re on 24/7 at no charge to the listening public. All you need to do is hit the button below. No subscription required.

TRIO is back!

It’s Midweek and We’re ‘Under The Influence’ With The Beatles and The Supergroups, Wednesday, January 8, 2025

Good morning, musicologists, and welcome to the middle of the week. Tomorrow we’ll be heading for the weekend once again! We have a great Wednesday lineup.

Here’s your midweek lineup:

9:00 a.m. Under The Influence: Various Artists

Being under the influence is the subject of many a song as evidenced by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Byrds, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Little Feat, Linda Ronstadt, The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, New Riders of The Purple Sage, Talking Heads, Neil Young, The Beatles, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Foreigner, Jonathan Edwards, John Lee Hooker, Donovan and more!

4:00 p.m. Trippin’ With The Beatles

This afternoon we explore The Beatles psychedelic catalogue, an extraordinary journey. Did you know that Paperback Writer is considered one of the earliest examples of a psychedelic song?

8:00 p.m. Sounds of The Supergroups, Volume One: Various Artists

Tonight we close it out with the Supergroups, like Cream, Blind Faith, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Highwaymen, The Super, Super Blues Band (Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf & Bo Diddley), Manassas, and two of the best damned supergroups of all time, Trio (Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris) and our faves, The Traveling Wilburys. You know, nobody ever speaks of Trio as a supergroup, at least not the music media which still entrenched in misogyny, but that is exactly what Trio was.

Like I said earlier, we’re headed for the weekend after today, and we aim to get you there in style. We’re on 24/7 with no commercial interruption. Ever. The button is below.

The Work Week Begins With The Supergroups, Live Warren Zevon, and Fillmore Week With Hot Tuna on Monday, April 29, 2024

Good morning, music lovers. We start off the day today with music from the Supergroups, then we have two live shows coming up, and one that kicks off Fillmore Week here!

Here’s your Monday musical lineup:

10:00 a.m. Sounds of The Supergroups: Various Artists UPDATED!

We start the day paying respect to the Supergroups who have given us so much great music, like CSNY, The Traveling Wilburys, Supertramp, Manassas, Cream, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Trio (nobody ever talks about Ronstadt-Harris-Parton as a Supergroup but that’s exactly what they were), The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings & Kris Kristofferson), Derek & The Dominos, Blind Faith, and The Super, Super Blues Group (Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Bo Diddley).

4:00 p.m. Warren Zevon Live at The Barrymore Theater, New York, NY, November 22, 1999 NEW!

We’ve got some new-to-the-station live Warren Zevon today. I saw Mr. Bad Example live at the Berklee College of Music back in the day and everyone was pissed off that he was two hours late and we had to listen to 52 versions of Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart while waiting for him. But once he started singing, all was forgiven. It was a great show.

7:00 p.m. FILLMORE WEEK: Hot Tuna Live at The Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, March 4, 1988

We kick off Fillmore Week with a great blues-rock band in Hot Tuna, built out of the ashes of The Jefferson Airplane by Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. Over the years, members have come and gone, but Casady and Kaukonen have always been the anchors.

Join us today, folks. It’s a great day for a test drive. We’re on 24/7 at no cost to you. And that’s not an “introductory” offer or a bait-and-switch. No surprises. We’re free with no commercial advertising to boot. Just use the button below!

It’s Fillmore Week!

Keeping It Simple Today With Our ‘Are You Ready for the Country’ Multi-Artist EP and The (Young) Rascals’ AOW Later, July 16, 2023

Good morning, music lovers! We are on a ‘keep it simple’ Sunday routine today with some great country and country-rock (no bad pop bands with fiddles, we promise) and our Album of The Week from The Young Rascals.

Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Are You Ready for The Country: Various Artists

From real country music to the creators of the country-rock sound. You’ll hear Guy Clark, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young, The Byrds, Gram Parsons, Pure Prairie League, Asleep at The Wheel, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, the Marshall Tucker Band, Jerry Jeff Walker, Mudcrutch, The Band, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Glen Campbell, Rosanne Cash, Dan Fogelberg, New Riders of the Purple Sage, John Prine, The Desert Rose Band, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams and more!

7:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Groovin’ by The Young Rascals NEW!

No doubt, The Rascals are one of our favorite bands; a great rock band that could really make real R&B music. They just kept churning out the hits between 1964 and 1969. You couldn’t keep them off the charts, and they fully deserved to be there. Groovin’ was their third studio album, released on July 31, 1967. It went to #5 on the Billboard Top LP chart, #7 on the R&B chart, and #2 in Canada. Eight of the songs were released as singles, with the title track reaching #1 in the U.S. This would be the final album where they would use the ‘Young’ moniker. Moving on, they would explore psychedelia as did so many bands of this generation. They will be back here again with another AOW.

Kick off your shoes. Take your socks off. Pour yourself your favorite beverage. And get into the music. We’re on 24/7 and we’re totally free of charge every day, not just when we have a “subscription” drive. We don’t require a subscription or a credit card. So there.

Keep It Simple!

We’ve Hit Our Midweek Stride With Our ‘Are You Ready For the Country’ EP, and Tom Rush In The Spotlight, Wednesday, February 16, 2022

Good Morning, Musicologists! Yes, we’re at midweek. It’s all downhill from here, as they say. We’ve got a great line up today as we wish Tom Rush a happy belated 80th birthday, and turn on the country spigot.

Real country. And country-rock. But no bad pop bands with fiddles here.

Here’s the midweek line-up:

10:00 a.m. Are You Ready For The Country: Various Artists

Tom Petty was a great musicologist. He once referred to the glut of bad country bands as ‘bad pop bands with fiddles.’ None of that shit here today as we give you a great EP of uninterrupted music. You’ll hear Guy Clark, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young, The Byrds, Gram Parsons, Pure Prairie League, Asleep At The Wheel, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, Jerry Jeff Walker, Mudcrutch, The Flying Burrito Brothers and more!

7:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Tom Rush

Tom Rush turned 80 years young on February 8th and we’re finally wishing him a happy belated birthday. I saw him at his birthday bash in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (the place of his birth) when he turned 79 last year, and he was fantastic. Today, we put Tom Rush, the artist often credited with heralding in the era of the singer-songwriter, In the Spotlight.

Get on it, folks. This is the toughest day of the week, and we’ll help you get through it with some great music. No charge for the service. Honest. We’re not kidding.

Are You Ready?

Saturday Brings Sounds of The Supergroups, The Kinks In the Spotlight, the Final Airing of Our AOW, and LIVE DEAD Later, November 20, 2021

Good Morning, Musicologists! It’s another one of those crazy music Saturdays here in The Mermaid Lounge, and we’ve got some great stuff for you today. Read on for details!

Our jumping off programming point today is an expanded ‘Sounds of the Supergroups’

Here’s your Saturday programming:

11:00 a.m. The Sounds of The Supergroups: Various Artists EXPANDED & UPDATED!

We’ve done some work on this since the last time we aired it. You know, the term ‘Supergroup’ is used a bit too liberally today, but we can’t control that shit except as we define the term. These bands do not come along very often, and they generally aren’t a lifetime deal. They may tour, or they may not. But one thing’s for sure: They have been created by artists who were successful either in other bands or as solo artists. We feel confident that we’re giving your the all-inclusive list.

You will hear Cream, Derek & The Dominos, CSNY, The Traveling Wilburys (the world’s all-in number one supergroup of all time as continually voted by the public), The Highwaymen (Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson), Blind Faith, Supertramp, The Plastic Ono Band, Trio (Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris), andThe Super Super Blues Band (Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley).

4:00 p.m. Album of The Week: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul FINAL AIRING!

It’s sayonara after today’s airing, so get on it. Tomorrow we’ll introduce a brand new choice to you as our Album of The Week.

7:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The Kinks

The Muswell Hillbillies are back with their own unique sound and collection of hits that can’t be denied. Somehow, I feel like these guys were always on the cusp of being considered a great band in some people’s minds, but The Kinks were as good as any band in their day and had a kick ass sound all their own.

10:00 p.m. LIVE DEAD! The Grateful Dead Live at West High Auditorium, Anchorage, Alaska, June 21, 1980

This is a repeat performance for us, but this has not been aired for more than a year here. This show is one of three that The Dead played in the 2,000-seat auditorium at West High School in Anchorage back in 1980. Many consider it one of their best live shows.

Saturday is here. The weekend is upon (some of) us. Some of us have one more stint left, and that would be me. But you can be here with us in The Mermaid Lounge enjoying life free of charge.

We Celebrate Linda, Dolly & Emmylou’s Trio Release 34 Years Ago Yesterday, and The Rolling Stones Are Live Later, Wednesday, March 3, 2021

Good Morning, Music Lovers! It’s a very special day today as we celebrate the release of Trio by the only female supergroup on the planet thirty-four years ago yesterday. Nobody ever talks about Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris even being a supergroup, but that’s because women are still marginalized in the music world. They were every bit a supergroup, make no mistake about it.

Linda, Dolly & Emmylou. A supergroup no matter how much they ignore it.

Here’s today’s line-up:

12:00 p.m. Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris: The Trio Sessions, The Complete Collection NEW!

Today we celebrate three extraordinary musical talents who came together and produced two of the most amazing albums of all time. We give you the complete Trio collection, including outtakes, unreleased music, alternate versions, and — of course — the versions you all know and love.

6:00 p.m. The Rolling Stones, Live at the Palais Royale, Toronto, Canada, August 16, 2002

The original bad boys of rock n’ roll here play it for you live from the Palais Royale in Toronto. Hey, it’s only rock n’ roll, but we like it, like it, yes we do.

In between all of this, we have our usual Open Stream, as chosen by the magical Music Mermaid who runs the selection. We’re free, as in free. No membership, credit card, or personal information required. All you need is a free computer tab, then click your heels, and hit the link below.
