Coming up on Episode 478, Thursday, October 10, 2024
Kris Kristofferson was a different kind of renaissance man. He was an observer whose crusading bard ethos, as The Nation’s Chris Lehmann puts it, meets the line “If you waste your time a-talkin’, To the people who don’t listen, To the things you are sayin’, Who do you think’s gonna hear?” We’ll share some of Kris’ songs in this week’s show, paying homage to an Americana giant we lost last week. We’ll surround the timber of that age-hewn voice with new sounds like we do each week. Tracks from Hayes & The Heathens, Mindy Smith, Southern Avenue, Tai Shan and a host of others. Our Blue Moon Americana show has been delivering the goods here on Sonoma County Community radio for nearly a decade; and we’re not done. Tune in for this week’s blend at 9 Pacific on kowsfm.com/listen.

Last week’s (Episode 477) show and playlist:
It’s October 3^rd and we’re heading straight on through Octoberfest to Election Day 2024. Who was President when you were born? I’m loathe to say that it was Harry Truman by a nose. Can you believe that? We’ve come a long way baby and we can only hope that we come farther as a society. But we shouldn’t stray too far into that political mire because there is music to be celebrated from those Americana archives…including the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chubby Checker, Marle Haggard and Eddie Cochran. Rock n’ roll, country, and the blues…all wafting from under that big Americana tent. We’ll also revisit some of the new tracks we’ve been playing for you: Chuck Prophet, The Cactus Blossoms, Nick Lowe, and Charley Crockett…and we’ll also deliver a new little piece from Trampled by Turtles and LeAnn Rimes. So why don’t you join us on Thursday morning at 9 Pacific here on kowsfm.com/listen. We’d be honored to have you ears.
