The biggest thing today is the new record for Julie Christensen. She is back big time with her new band Stone Cupid and the new record called Cardinal. We remember her well from her stint with Chris D and Divine Horsemen band in the 80s. From San Francisco, The Forty Nineteens are back with a new rock’n’roll kick-in-the-gut called Rebooted. We also hear a segment from Pat Todd’s live show in Cleveland and we pay a tribute to the great Prince.
The first part of today’s show is mostly filled with the new tunes. We start off with the new music from Barrence Whitfield, who continues his furious comeback with a new record called Under a Savage Sky. Then we introduce a new duet from Cleveland Wesley Who, with a live recording of a Prince song. We also introduce Slates from Edmonton, Alberta in Canada – compatriots of Eamon McGrath. Plastic Pals from Sweden are back with the new single. The second part of the show dominates with music of several folks that we lost in the recent days: country music singer Lynn Anderson, record producer Bob Johnston, Flesh Eaters guitarist Stuart Lederer and Eddie Hardin who had a tough job filling Steve Winwood’s shoes in Spencer Davis Group, but also wrote one of my favorite tunes ever Time Seller.
