ALBUM SHOW NOTES
Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts' new album is called "Rogue to Redemption" and it's a solid sophomore album full of power pop-rock and swagger. I'm not going to rehash the Spotify biography as it looks like it was written by a Business School graduate, but it does bring out the finer point that they sound like a cross between AC/DC and Cheap Trick, which ain't a bad thing. I should point out that there are other great new albums out this week including Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "Wild God", Shemekia Copland's "Blame it on Eve", Wundrhorse's "Midas", and of course Oceanator's "Everything is Love and Death". And on a personal note, I honestly hope that Stevie Wonder is working on a full album to follow the single we added this week, because it's the best stuff he's done in a very long time. If it's this good, I'll paly it when it comes out. But for this week, enoy Tuk Smith and his band.
The Album Show plays on Thursdays at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.
RFC 2436
For those of you who stay away from Spotify the current week's additions will be played on Wednesdays. This is a change from prior programming: what we're going to do going forward is just play the music added this week only. Every other day will be the usual rotation, but we set aside Wednesdays for just the new additions for the week. This week that's 51 songs (including one from me) which we will play in the same order that they're in on the Spotify playlist of the same name up at the top of this post. So if you tune in at just about any time on Wednesday you will hear the whole playlist.
10 at 10
One last programming note: Every Saturday at 10pm and again on Sunday at 10am and 10pm we will feature our show "10 at 10", where we play 10 (and sometimes 11 or even 12!) songs from a year we pick at random. Again, all times are PST. Last week I played a group of songs from 1998, and this week we're going to pick another year we haven't gone to yet.
As always, you can go to https://global.citrus3.com:2020/public/radiofreecalifornia to listen to the station, and there is an imbed below. And did you know the station is available as an app? It's only for Google Play (sorry iphone users - Apples terms and conditions were too restrictive for me) but you can listen on your phone at your convenience too.
No cheap shots today. I'm a Union member.
And because I love you, here is Cody Fry's Orchestral take on "The Sound of Silence":
