We listen to surprising covers of tunes written by Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, and Janis Ian, a couple of husband-and-wife acts that were on the pop charts in the 60s; plus songs by Tim Buckley, Buffalo Springfield, Seatrain, the Chocolate Watch Band, the VIPs, the Hi Fis, and more.

Dig #268

An upbeat exploration of the music of the swinging 1960s: rock 'n' roll, soul, garage, psychedelia, girl groups, b-sides, album cuts, and more. Weekly program, 59:00. Originated on WNCW -FM Spindale/Asheville/Greenville.

The years between the release of "Meet the Beatles" and "Abbey Road" were loaded with some of the most exhilarating music ever made, and today's hippest tunes continue to reflect the influence of that era. Dig! is a trip back at that magical time, with album cuts, obscure 45s,  as well as songs from the icons of the decade. Context and back stories complete the "trip" back to the grooviest decade ever.

Host Kim Clark is the former program director of WNCW-FM in Spindale, NC. For three consecutive years ( 2004 - 2006), she was voted one of western North Carolina's favorite radio personalities by the readers of Asheville's Mountain Xpress arts and entertainment weekly. "Dig" won a Zeitgeist Award from PRX (Public Radio Exchange) in 2015.

This show was broadcast weekly from 2014 - 2019 on over a dozen terrestrial radio stations in the US and Britain, with archival episodes now rotated here weekly.
