No Expectations Radio

I got a call during the show last suggesting that I do a "Best of 2025 Part 2". I met him in the middle and will be devoting the entire 11:00 hour to that. So tune in and hear 2025 releases from Bryan Ferry, Andrew Bird, Peter Rowan, Richard Thompson, The Rolling Stones, Jon Batiste, Tami Neilson, Crys Matthews...and many others. Also as many of you know the passing of Bob Weir was announced on Saturday so I will be playing and an album side from the "Grateful Dead" in the 12:00 hour. So tune in to 90.1 FM KPFT Houston at 10:30 tomorrow morning for a few hours of left of center music.

Tune in tomorrow morning on 90.1 FM KPFT Houston with No Expectations. We will be looking back at some of the musicians that we lost this year. Tom Lehrer, Brian Wilson, Garth Hudson, Roberta Flack, Ozzy, Sly Stone, Marianne Faithful, David Johansen, Flaco Jimenez, Johnny Rodriguez, Raul Malo...and more. Join me at 10:30am on Monday morning as we honor the legacy and music of these icons.

Did you know that one person was mostly responsible for discovering Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Charlie Christian, Benny Goodman, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughn and many more? Tomorrow on "No Expectations" we will spend the last hour of the show talking about the great writer, producer, record executive, talent scout and champion of integration, John Hammond. And of course we'll be listening to some of the artists that he "discovered", including Side 2 of Bob Dylan's 1962 debut album, (straight off of the vinyl) which Hammond produced.
