Bruce Van Dyke’s Tribute to Walter Becker – Listen Anytime

It was just last week…..9-3-17…..that walter becker, the bassist, guitarist and half of the songwriting team for Steely Dan, moseyed on down the line.  I’ve spent the last week listening to their albums, and good gawd what a band.  their 7 album run, from CANT BUY A THRILL in ’72 to GAUCHO in ’80 is simply superb.  what a thrilling and remarkable legacy. And jesus, I don’t want to forget their AMAZING return album….Two Against Nature, which they put out 20 years after Gaucho, and it won the grammy for Album of the Year.  as well it should have. i spent last night listening to it….under properly approved conditions, of course…. you know, how the cuervo gold and the fine colombian make tonight a wonderful thing, right? what a terrific album! TAN was nothing less than a revelation. 20 years later, and they popped out an album that’s every bit as good as The Royal Scam and Gaucho.

Anyway, the point here is that the Tribute show to Walter Becker and Steely Dan is quite simply a slam dunk can’t miss.  GOD DAMN THIS WAS ONE GREAT GREAT BAND! ~BVD

Jeff Cotton’s Larry Hosford Retrospective – Listen Anytime

Hi everybody in JiveRadioLand! This is your JiveRadio Guy Jeff Cotton and I’ve compiled a look back at the musical career of a relatively obscure but nonetheless great master craftsman of Americana music… Larry Hosford.

Now, unless you listened to KFAT-FM out of Gilroy in the late ’70’s, or were around the Reno club scene in the early 80’s, or spent time around Salinas, you might have missed ol’ Hos’… or ‘Lorenzo’ as some of us knew him. Well, we’ve played all of his songs on all of our stations for years and we love him.

Unfortunately for us, Dick Cheney outlived ol’ Lorenzo… so check out JiveRadio’s tribute to the inimitable songster Larry Hosford.  Only here on JiveRadio.
