The release of Bettye LaVette’s collection of Bob Dylan songs, Things Have Changed, inspired this week’s show. We’ll play the very first recording on “Blowin' in the Wind,” a take on “Mr. Tambourine Man” by one of the men featured on the cover of his John Wesley Harding album, and a great instrumental by Steve Gadd and the Gadd Gang. All these are woven into a program alongside Dylan covers from Tracy Nelson, Jimmy LaFave, Bumper Jacksons, Darrell Scott and many more (we even slip in a couple by Bob himself). Reacquaint yourself with the music of Bob Dylan … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.

In 1969, Earth Day-founder Senator Gaylord Nelson witnessed the massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the anti-war movement of the ’60s, he felt that the increased awareness of pollution could bring the subject to the national attention. Earth Day 1970 was created via a rare agreement between both political parties and the disparate views through American society. The movement quickly led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency later in the year. Earth Day went global in 1990 mobilizing 200 million people world-wide … though climate change deniers and fossil fuel industry bureaucrats continue to try and derail the movement’s efforts.
We’ll listen to a selection of songs about the beauty of the environment and natural world to celebrate Earth Day 2018 … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
