Station Archive

Casey Van Beek and the Tulsa Groove are veteran musicians whose individual histories include stints with legends like Eric Clapton, Bonnie Riatt, Linda Ronstadt and more. Known for their sultry, laid-back "Tulsa Sound", their new album released in April 2020 called "Heaven Forever" adds their own flavorings, yet is also reminiscent of the sounds of forerunners Leon Russell, JJ Cale and Elvin Bishop.  This album, produced by band member Walt Richmond is sponsored by the nonprofit Little Village Foundation, that seeks out music happening in communities created by artists with non-traditional backgrounds, but often deep experience performing.  The Little Village Foundation records and produces a CD album free-of-charge as a gift to the musicians and as a means of supporting community-based artists.

Songs of homecoming and staying, travelling and returning.  From the Civil War, the 1940s, the 1960s, and on up to modern times -- here's another selection of songs from my own collection.  Fewer jazz/blues songs in this group; and more country.  With (of course!) one by John Denver!

This is the other half of my Coming and Going pair of shows. (This time I searched for: come, stay, home, travel, arrival, etcetera.)
