Coming up on Episode 496, Thursday, February 13, 2024
I’d be lying if I was telling you that I’m not tired of the rain. February in the North Bay made a lot of realize that we better check our desire for more rain at the door; because you should have seen me clutching my pearls when we went all of January with sun and wind and the need for sprinklers. This week’s Blue Moon checks in on the usual suspects and does a little digging in the genus of Little Red Rooster featuring Sam Cooke, The Stones and the Wolf. We’ll also excavate the Americana vaults with some Lucinda, Rodney Crowell and Roy Orbison. And I hope to kick in some Tennessee Ernie Ford while I’m at it. New music abounds as well. We’ll share a new Charley Crockett track, another new Ringo track, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Steve Forbert and Miss Tess in the show. Don’t miss out on another wonderful Thursday morning episode of Blue Moon Americana with your host Dave Stroud.
