Bob paid tribute to B.B. King, who would have turned 101 Wednesday, while Bill made a half-hearted attempt to justify his attendance at this week’s Yacht Rock Revue at Hard Rock Casino.
Bob paid tribute to the late great Otis Redding, who would have turned 85 if not for his death in a plane crash in 1967 at the age of 26. The singer made great music in 26 years; imagine if he had lived to make more.
Bill returned from the Injured List after a month-long absence and marked the occasion by playing songs from a number of concerts he missed in August, but celebrated the first two he saw last week: The Jayhawks and Margo Price.
With an assist from Bill coming in off the Injured List, Bob paid tribute to the inimitable and beloved Dolly Parton. We also gave a nod to Leon Redbone’s birthday and lots of Hound Dog Taylor covers.
Bob did a deep dive into the famous and not-so-famous greats of the Bakersfield Sound in honor of Buck Owens’ birthday. And as a bonus there were birthday sets for Mark Knopfler and Porter Wagoner, too.
Bob devoted much of the show to the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ “Revolver” LP. Thankfully, the Fab Four went with that name instead of the working title “Abracadabra.” We know Steve Miller, for one, is grateful.
Bob paid tribute to guitarist Charlie Christian, who made an outsized contribution to to generations of electric guitar players although he only lived to be 25.
Bob recounted the highlights of the Love Lovett-Hayes Carll show last week, while Bill couldn’t contain his excitement about another Jason Isbell show, which will take place Saturday at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, north of Dayton.
Bob paid tribute to the legendary Linda Ronstadt on her 80th birthday, while Bill previewed a number of great shows in town this week including Lyle Lovett, Nick Lowe and John Mellencamp.
Bill returned after hip replacement surgery to play 90 minutes of top-notch music that focused on some of the great shows coming to town. And, surprisingly, he did it while avoiding the temptation to talk about himself for most of the time.
