Vote early! And, according to Fearless Leader, vote often! Call this our gritty city episode here on Blue Moon Americana. This week’s show features a collection of blues and soul infused sounds that are informed by city living from a point of poverty and social pains. That’s our vintage theme and we’ll have Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland, Elvis, Rodriguez, and Randy Newman to tell their stories. And wow…some great new sounds to complete the two hour festivities including new tracks from Chris Stapleton, Colter Wall, Patrick Sweany, and Black Pumas (who will cover the aforementioned Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland). Labor Day’s past us already and the color of the leaves on the trees are turning. We don’t know what the fall and winter brings with flu season and a massive pandemic sweeping the world but we do know that our cult of Trump has only one thing in mind…self promotion. Imagine that. Tune in this week here on KOWS Community Radio, 92.5 FM or streaming to the world at kowsfm.com/listen.
