A few days ago, I watched the documentary Festival Express . This was an amazing doc about the "Festival Express" in Canada in 1970. Instead of having one venue, concert promoters put the artists on a train and moved them from venue to venue. The film details what it was like on that train. The artists included the Grateful Dead, the Band, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and Buddy Guy. And Janis was there. Her performances on that festival circuit were some of her last. Today, we are playing a track from her posthumously released Pearl album. Listen on Wednesday at 11am and 11 pm, Eastern. Then throughout the week.

 

It's August. It's Hot. And the new music is even hotter. We have nearly 150 new tracks streaming this month from 16 artists.

This week, we are dusting off a 1977 45 rpm record, featuring KISS and "Calling Dr. Love." This is an original disc from my collection, purchased during my "Kiss Phase" when growing up. I had my favorite KISS character, of course. I really liked Peter Criss and drew his face everywhere. I had a Paul Stanley poster in my "area" in the crawlspace (which, incidentally, was still there when my parents moved a few years ago.) My Junior High, in 1976, won a contests and KISS even played a show in the gym. That was a few years before I was a student there, but everybody was talking about it. Photo by Ken Jenks If you haven't seen the new A&E Biography special, KISStory , do it. It is a great trip down memory lane. "Calling Dr. Love" premieres at 11am July 7, 2021 and repeats again at 11pm (Eastern). Plus, catch it throughout the week.

This song eluded me for a long time. That is, until I watched After Life , a series on Netflix written and directed by Ricky Gervais. He also stars as Tony, a man who is struggling with the death of his wife. This song ended Season 1, and it is now the SOTW.  Listen Wednesday, at 11am and 11pm, EST -- and throughout the week.
