Aug. 29, 2007 – Tune into the Doug Lewis Show on WVGN 107.3 FM from 1 to 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 2. This Sunday we will feature music by Allen Toussaint, Red Meat, Pegi Young, Taj Mahal, Tia McGraff, Los Straitjackets and more.
The Modern Music Feature CD is "Life, Love and Faith" by Allen Toussaint. This is a re-issue of a 1972 release by the great New Orleans artist and songwriter. This outstanding early release features contributions from the great Louisiana funksters, the Meters.
The Indie Spotlight CD is "We Never Close" from alternative country rockers Red Meat. The band combines rock and twang to produce an entertaining new release.
We play new music from Neil Young's wife Pegi Young, country and folk singer Tia McGraff, Los Straitjackets, the Roches, Lucinda Williams and more.
We also include music from Neil Young, the Beatles, Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys, Taj Mahal, Eric Andersen, James McMurtry and more.
We celebrate the birthdays of Sam Gooden of the Impressions, Paul Deakin of the Mavericks, and Jerry Augustyniak of 10,000 Maniacs.
We give away a CD from eclectic folk rockers Marley's Ghost as well as a solo CD from Ed Littlefield Jr. of Marley's Ghost. We also give away a new blues CD from Canadian blues artists Harry Manx and Kevin Breit and (very appropriately for Labor Day Weekend) a compilation called "Classic Labor Songs," featuring tracks by a number of prestigious folk artists.
