It was a bittersweet evening as Bob and Bill paid tribute to John Fay, their former Enquirer colleague, plus Robbie Robertson of The Band, Rodriguez of “Searching for Sugar Man,” and David Flamme of It’s a Beautiful Day.
Bob and Bill reunite in the studio for the first time in more than a month to celebrate the 86th birthday of The Band’s Garth Hudson and the day that Bob Zimmerman changed his last name to Dylan.
Bill again recounted his family visit to the Rev. Al Green’s Full Gospel Tabernacle Church in Memphis ahead of the legend’s visit to the Cincinnati Music Festival this week.
Is there a radio show where you can hear Lucinda Williams, Teddy and the Rough Riders, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Miko Marks, Bruce Springsteen and the Four Tops? Yes, there’s one.
While Bob was preparing to visit Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch Saturday to see Dave Alvin and the Guilty Ones, Bill celebrated the Fourth of July holiday early with Alvin’s classic tune.
Bill returned after more than a month away to spread good news and good music that included a tribute to Doug Sahm from Son Volt’s new album and a classic Sir Douglas Quintet tune.
Bob was out of town on a secret mission, leaving Bill in the studio solo. The program started well, then a Spotify glitch ran it off the rails. But with a newfound calm after dealing with more serious issues, the host didn’t panic and switched the “Songs of 1969,” a disc he made for a high school reunion. Texts poured in praising those tunes, so he stuck with it until closing the show with Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground,” a top hit of 1973 (50 years ago).
Hard to believe that it has been 29 years since the death of Kurt Cobain. We paid tribute to the Nirvana frontman with a set of covers that included Sturgill Simpson and Steve Earle.
