Coming up on Episode 480, Thursday, October 24, 2024
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.

Last week’s (Episode 479) show and playlist:
Drop on into the Blue Moon Americana den this morning as we deliver some new sounds including tracks from JD McPherson, Charlotte Lawrence and a fresh new track from James Bay. We’ll also be celebrating some performers and hallmarks from deep in the Americana landscape that are celebrating an anniversary or birthday. Among the celebrations: The Four Tops’ Levi Stubbs, Tennessee Ernie Ford’s Sixteen Tons cover, as well as the release of a couple of landmark albums. We’re talking about The River by Bruce Springsteen and Copperhead Road by Steve Earle. October has delivered a blend of weather both hot and temperate, which is about what we expect here in the North Bay, but we’ve also got our Florida brethren on our minds.
