This Week's Playlist and Podcast
This week on Dr. John's Idiosyncratic History of Rock and
Roll we put the spotlight on Troubadours and Storytellers. These were (in several cases, still are) performers
from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s who were generally not big stars with chart
hits, but rather made a living writing great songs and performing them for a small
but devoted audience. Below is a list of
the songs played on the program, and if you click here you can listen to a
podcast of the full program.
