Country, Cuban and Cajun: Raul Malo & The Mavericks; The Pine Leaf Boys

We meet Raul Malo, the Miami-born and Cuban-descended singer and leader of The Mavericks, known for country, pop and roots rock. We’ll talk about that and Latin music, all behind the band’s huge success in country music and their recent successful all Spanish language recording. Then a live concert and conversation with the Pine Leaf Boys as Louisiana French two-steps meet rock n roll. Plus music from Celia Cruz, Patsy Cline, Los Lobos and Professor Longhair.

PET SOUNDS REVISITED: SONGS OF DOGS, CATS, BIRDS & OTHER MOSTLY...BELOVED CREATURES

June 2nd, 2021

To many pop music audiophiles, the words “Pet Sounds” might bring to mind the Beach Boys. But for us it means the songs and sounds of our pets and other animal affections. Dogs and cats reign as we take your requests and add our best picks, including a few birds, a mule or two and even monkeys. We’ll also visit with an anthropologist whose best friends include primates named Miles, Monk, Bartok, Berg, Coltrane and Stravinsky. Plus music by Bob Dylan, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Bonnie Raitt and George Clinton.
