Working Songs Playlist – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good morning, work-a-day people. It’s our day here and we’re celebrating in style with our expanded ‘Working Songs’ playlist. It’s not quite an EP. Yet. Then it’s on to The Beatles Top 100 songs at mid-afternoon!

Here’s your Labor Day lineup:

9:00 a.m. Working Songs: Various Artists UPDATED & EXPANDED!

Today we celebrate the American worker and the labor movement that gave us the weekend, worker protections and collective bargaining with Van Morrison, The Staple Singers, The Beatles, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello, Jim Croce, Little Feat, Woody Guthrie, Mudcrutch, Dolly Parton, Bachman Turner Overdrive, the J. Geils Band, Slim Harpo, Marvin Gaye, Lee Dorsey, Todd Rundgren, Sam Cooke, Neil Young, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.

3:00 p.m. The Beatles Top 100 Songs

From the slums of Liverpool to laboring in clubs throughout Europe to becoming the greatest rock band on the planet. There’s no better story in music. It’s a great way to celebrate Labor Day.

Before, in between and through the night we give you our big, wide Open Stream. We’re on 24/7 and the Music Mermaid is on duty all day long. There’s no commercial interruption and no endless DJ chatter. The button is below.

Celebrate Labor Day!

Good morning, music lovers! I was a bit overexuberant last night and went off the ledge on scheduling today. (We’re actually exploring a bit of late-night programming for our overseas listeners!)

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Working Songs: Various Artists

Quite appropriate on a Monday morning as the work week begins. You’ll hear from The Staple Singers, Van Morrison, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Lennon, Slim Harpo, Neil Young, Jim Croce, Little Feat, Bob Dylan, Jesse Winchester, Maria Muldaur and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Rickie Lee Jones

Over five decades this great singer-songwriter has recorded songs in a variety genres, including jazz, rock, pop, soul and R&B.

7:00 p.m. Van Morrison Live at The Bottom Line, New York, NY, November 1, 1978

Van the Man is a staple around these parts. We haven’t heard him for a while, so we thought it was about time we break him out of mothballs.

10:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Elvis Costello NEW!

Here we have another great Elvis, but it’s Costello. You can love him or hate him, but the man broke barriers and is a hell of a singer-songwriter. He’s one of the very few of his generation that I actually listen to.

Another Monday in paradise…at least for me since my “weekends” fall on Sunday-Monday. We’ve got some great music today and we’re toying with late-night programming. We’ll see how it goes. Our overnight listeners are generally outside the U.S. Give us a listen.

Just Push Play. Please. And Thank You.
