Rules Free Radio Aug 8 2023

On the next Rules Free Radio with Steve Caplan, we’ll start with a few socially timely songs beginning with Washington DC’s David Scott Weaver with Crys Matthews, and then a mix that includes some new and recent Rock releases from PJ Harvey, Madeline Kenney, Veps, and Locate S,1, Bethany Cosentino, and The Ormidales. Plus classics and more from Eliza Gilkyson, Beach Bunny, The Sundays, Colin Blunstone, Wolf Alice, and others.

In the second hour, we’re going to hear a bunch of music written by Ray Davies of The Kinks. JEM Records has just released their album JEM Records Celebrates Ray Davies. That’s as good of an excuse as any to play songs by Ray Davies and we’ll hear a few from that new JEM Records tribute album, a handful from The Kinks, and a lot of versions of Kinks music by other artists like David Bowie, The Shelters, Kirsty MacColl, Detroit Cobras, Francoise Hardy, and many more.

In the third hour, we’ll sample some new and recent releases that might just inspire you to dance including some Techno, Jazz-Funk, and even some Exotica Lounge music from a cool new compilation of those sounds from the 50s through today. We’ll close with some new singer-songwriter, contemporary Folk releases with Wren Hinds, Dot Allison, Julie Byrne, and one from the new Nils Lofgren album, Mountains. So another well-balanced show with a little something for everyone!
