Coming up on Episode 486, Thursday, December 5 2024
We’re in full December mode. The holiday ornaments are being pulled out of storage and here at Blue Moon Americana we’re hoping that our listeners are ready for a run of new and vintage sounds.  We’ll be celebrating the release of the eponymous 1967 album Buffalo Springfield, the music of JJ Cale, Johnny Cash and BB King (among others), all from the vintage bin. But there is also a brilliant collection of new sounds, including a sneak peak at some new Paul Thorn, an absolutely mind-blowing new release from Michael Kiwanuka, as well as Phosphorescent, Jeffrey Foucault and Ella Thompson. December is here, cold and brash as usual, and we’ll also be featuring tracks from the Jimmy Rogers All-Stars, Jesse Colin Young and Little Richard just to keep the fires warm. Tune into KOWS’ vibrant stream at kowsfm.com/listen or, if you’re in West Sonoma County, try our FM signal at 92.5.

Last week’s (Episode 485) show and playlist:
Tradition calls for it and we’re big on tradition here at Blue Moon Americana. This week’s show will kick off the holiday season with a delicious banquet of Americana sounds; and there is certainly no better way to roll into it than with a story. It’s a known story. It’s a bit of a tall tale with shreds of real life. It’s the Alice’s Restaurant Massacre. And we’ll be featuring the full length version from its debut which took place 57 years ago. We’ve made it tradition here on the show, filling out our Thanksgiving Day special as we dry off from a cyclone bomb weather event here in the North Bay.  I’ve got new music from Ella Thompson, Emily Gabriele, Julian Taylor, Tai Shan, and a few others. Throwbacks, anniversaries and tributes also complement our new Americana tracks as we feature vintage tracks from Berry Gordy’s Motown, Randy Newman, Charlie Rich and more cool sounds. Tune into a lone voice in the wilderness of Sonoma County, KOWS-LP 92.5 FM, streaming on kowsfm.com/listen. And a very Happy Thanksgiving to all.
