Happy Summer -- How About Some Summer Wine?

This week on the SONG OF THE WEEK, we are spinning a great track from Nancy Sinatra. "Summer Wine" features vocals by both Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood. The two of them will go on to record three albums together. This is the start of it all.

Nancy in London was her third album released in the year 1966. And it is great. Listen to the Song of the Week on Wednesday, 11am and 11pm, Eastern. It is then repeated throughout the week.

The Song of Week: 6 Years and Counting!

We have surpassed the 300th episode of The Song of the Week and going back to the artist we started with six years ago!

We are spinning a great song from their 2003 release Ohio. As anyone knows who has listened to the Song of the Week, I am a huge fan of this band. In fact, we have played more songs by Over the Rhine than any other band in the last 6 years.  Here's the breakdown:

5: The Beatles, Pat Benatar, The Rollings Stones, The Who with 5 songs each

4: Frank Sinatra with 6 songs

3: U2 with 7 songs

2: Bruce Springsteen with 8 Songs

Well, make that 10 songs after this special episode. We are spinning "Professional Daydreamer."

Over the last 6 years, we have played 312 songs covering the years 1938-2023. Out of all of the spins, the year that we played the most was 1978, followed by 1970, 1973 and 1968.

We have also played 2 78s, 1 cassette single, a few 8tracks, 1 12" single and 31 45s.
