Live Tracks frequently airs recordings from local performances here in Davis. LT began broadcasting on Sept. 30, 2004, and has produced 720 original episodes as of August 2024. Best experienced with a lava lamp, cool recreational beverage of choice, and a place to chill out. Peace.

Vinyl VisionsThu, 09/02/2021 - 9:10pm | Jim BuchananLots of long playing records fill the airwaves (or internet packets of zeroes and ones) on this episode of Live Tracks. First aired August 31, 2017, the Summer of Love (1967) was all the rage once again as we collectively licked our mental wounds following the unfortunate election of what would prove to be the worst electoral mistake collectively made by the voters of this wonderful country [the regrettable electee's name rhymed with dump]. Miraculously sober for the entire two hours of this program, your host honored the music of an era that featured creative, emotive songwriting. You will hear the Stone Ponies, Savoy Brown, Country Joe and the Fish and much more. Revel in the wonders of true dynamic range (instead of highly compressed sonic train wrecks). Peace. |

Live Tracks for 7:00pm on Jul 1st, 2021Thu, 07/01/2021 - 9:10pm | Jim BuchananThree performances make up this program. The first is Me & Him (Kurt Roggli and Martin Lewis) from December of 2016. Next is Misner and Smith with special guest Josh Yenne from May of 2014. The second hour features the Mendocino Quartet (Steven Bates, David Hayes, Gwyneth Moreland and Gene Parsons). circa 2018. Distinctive harmonies are what this program is all about. Instrumental guitar duo Me & Him play their Martin guitars so fluently that two guitars sound, at times, like three or four. Wonderful rich songs, some steeped in the history of Wales. Josh Yenne provides additional support to the creative folk songs of Misner and Smith. A real treat for those who are well versed in the songs of this fabulous duo. The songs of the Mendocino Quartet feature four part harmonies. Each vocalist takes a turn at singing lead, depending on the song (and who wrote it!). |
