My Generation

Once again it's Christmastime and Gene and Dave have put together a selection of Christmas music for everyone to enjoy.

From the Barenaked Ladies to BB King, artists have taken a new view of old favorite melodies. Enjoy some egg nog as Loreena McKennitt, Dido, Tom Jones and Testa Rosa warm your holiday.

Bob Dylan has long been recognized as one of the most influential song writers of our generation. Rock, Blues, Narratives, he changed the way music was played and heard. 

Gene & Dave go over some of his greatest songs (according to us). Hear Manfred Mann, Rodney Crowell with Emmy Lou Harris, Jerry Lee Lewis and Bob himself demonstrate his gift of songwriting. 

We all remember some 1 hit wonders. In some cases the artists faded away into history. Yet there were so many that had one hit and then continued to record music and never broke through the top 40 again.

Dave & Gene have done it again but in a different way. Gene is playing the hit that we all remember and Dave is following up with a track that could have been a hit.  You'll remember the artists but might be surprised that they only had one hit. Take a listen.

It's been awhile since Dave & Gene got together but this looks like one of the really good ones.

We showcase some familiar groups and some seldom heard artists as we discuss "What does Country really mean.

There's a little bit of Country in all of us. See which ones fit your description. And don't feel afraid to write us and let us know.

Happy Holidays! Gene & Dave have come up with thier latest Christmas podcast. Enjoy classic artists like Andy Williams and Julie Andrews. Hear different renditions by newer artists like Train and Aimee Mann. Enjoy fun songs from the 60's and 70's and discover a new track not available anywhere else.

Christmas 2013. Wishing everyone a good one.

Barry Gordy found he could benefit more from producing music rather than writing it. In this podcast, Dave and Gene, explore the roots of Motown, the groups it inspired and how it influenced soul music.

Hear Marvin Gaye in a live performance singing a well known song not generally considered with "Motown". Listen to the first songs produced by Gordy and Motown's first million seller hit. Enjoy the Temptations as they go mainstream with a great standard and Jr. Walker and the All-Stars doing a famous Guess Who track.

It all started with Hitsville and be surprised with the only artist that never recorded on a different label over the years, just Tamla, the basic Motown label.

It's taken awhile but summer is finally here. And so is the latest podcast from Dave and Gene. And there's no better way to start off than with Jimmy Buffett. Chicago reminds us what it's like in the park on a Saturday and Annette does the same with the beach.

Mungo Jerry lets us know how to enjoy it when the weather is hot while the "California Girls" spend time watching the "Lonely Surfer." Grab that cool summer drink and relax because it's "Summer, Summertime is Here!"

Don Mclean reminded us all of the day the music died in 1959 when Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper died in an airplane crash in Iowa.

Yet there was still some fun music made in 1959. Dave & Gene explore some Do Wop, Country, Instrumental, Novelty and Crooner songs from that year. Hear the Flamingos, Stonewall Jackson, Duane Eddy, Jack Scott (the first Canadian to make it big in the US), the Clovers and more.

Enjoy this latest blast from the past!

Ever wonder if a favorite artist ever had a "bomb"? A song that didn't chart but should have? You'll be shocked to hear a Beatles song, one of their most famous ones, that never made the charts.

Or how about Elvis and a song they pulled from distribution because someone else had a big hit with it.

Dave & Gene hit it big again with "non-hit" classics that either didn't make the Billboard Pop charts or charted real low. Enjoy Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Duane Eddy, CSNY and others with songs that "would-a, could-a, should-a" been big hits.

Traditional Christmas songs depend upon your traditions. From Christmas Carols to favorite holiday tunes, Dave & Gene present some great Christmas treats. Enjoy Bing Crosby, Don McLean, The Stylistics, Scotty McCreary, Sheryl Crow and more. Share with friends and enjoy a Merry Christmas!
