Coming up on Episode 514, Thursday, June 19, 2025
We’ll be sharing another collection of new tracks this week…and at this time of year it’s almost impossible to keep up as there’s an overwhelming burst of those creative Americana juices from north, south, east and west. New tracks this week include some fresh fruit off the vine: Kathleen Edwards, the Crowe Boys, Nicole Lawrence and Asleep at the Wheel are just a few of the performers who we have for you. The throwback sounds are classic ones led by tributes, anniversaries and birthdays. Tune in for some well curated and well aged tracks from Neil Young, Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde, Tex Williams and His Western Caravan, Elvis, and a John Hartford familiar from the year 1968 and Glen Campbell. We’ll also point out that Margo Price’s latest single, Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down, hits the nail smack dab center on the dead. You can put your feet up, kick back and enjoy two hours of the best of Americana on a Thursday morning in West County.

Last week’s (Episode 513) show and playlist:
This week’s show will feature a wide range of Americana nuggets because that’s what we do each and every Thursday morning on West Sonoma County’s finely tuned FM/streaming station: KOWS-LP, Occidental. Blue Moon’s been a Sonoma County show that’s been holding the line since 2014 and this week that line includes some tributes (of course), some release anniversaries (naturally), and an extended selection of classics from the Americana wells (always). Tune in for a blend of Ronstadt, The Blasters, Warren Zevon, Bonnie Raitt and John Hartford as we celebrate the past. We won’t ignore the present…not hardly. New music this week includes tracks from Christian Rutledge, Sunny Sweeney, Rodney Crowell and The Black Keys. We do our best here to share the freshly minted with some tracks that show a rich patina from age. Like all of us. Drop in, won’t you?
