Coming up on Episode 481, Thursday, October 31, 2024
Halloween, you say? Well, there won’t be any spooky sounds this morning because I’m sure others will take on that mantle. Here on Blue Moon Americana the focus will be on new sounds and some patina from the past. This week, that throwback sound will focus primarily on the works of Neil Percival Young with covers and originals as Neil continues to release gems from his archives. Tune in for The Pixies’ cover of Winterlong, Buffalo Springfield, a new Phosphorescent track coupled with a cover, Emmylou and, of course, Neil himself. New tracks are also in abundance. Lilly Hiatt, Marcedes Carroll, and Maggie Rogers come to mind. There’s plenty for everyone in another two hours of fine Americana sounds here on KOWS-LP 92.5, Occidental, streaming around this big blue marble on kowsfm.com. Join us.

Last week’s (Episode 480) show and playlist:
On our 480th episode of Blue Moon Americana this week, we’ll be sharing a boatload of new sounds. Those new tracks include some Dwight Yoakam, Maggie Rogers, Lisa Morales and Cristina Vane as October’s well of releases is overflowing with great Americana sounds from near and far. Our vintage tracks today will celebrate sounds from the Big Easy; rhythm and blues and swamp pop from local and national charts over the past decades. Tune in for some Irma Thomas, Dr. John, Fats Domino, Ernie K-Doe and a few more as we pay tribute to a sound that celebrates both the darkness and the light. We hope you’ll drop by once again as we give you another fresh blend of the very best from the landscape of Americana music on a Thursday morning, broadcasting live from the hills of Occidental, California.
