You gotta know it is a blast to play music on the radio. For the last month, I have been working afternoon drive on KDRP in Dripping Springs, TX. You can listen on line, or download the app for your smart phone. The most coolest thing about this, is that I am putting the library together for my show - Freedom is a wonderful thing. You will hear Chuck Berry and Fats Domino and Little Richard, Dylan and the Stones, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Chris Knight and Paul Thorn. New stuff too; The Lumineers, JD McPherson, JP Harris and The Tough Choices. I am on every day Monday through Friday, 2-7 pm CT, but on Wednesday it's 12 noon to 4 pm. I
welcome you to check it out. It kind of puts the pieces in place nicely, as I continue to scout for new music. Now I can do more than write about it, I can play it on the radio too.
I gotta get my hands on this, King Washington's debut album, The Gears. The band is out of Los Angeles, and their sound is nothing short of hypnotic. Love the vocals, love the harmonies, love the texture to the music. Yes they have been compared to The Beatles, which is not such a bad thing if you bring something new to it, which King Washington does. The album came out yesterday, and was produced by the band and Grammy-Award winner Joe Puerta. This is a luscious album full of longing and serious chops. Today's video is
for the song "Bawl and Change." The storyboard for it is a tad on the strange side, but the tune totally rocks.
