Cavalcade for June 1

6 days ago | wfuv.org | Paul Cavalconte

This first of June pulls out of the recent mud of May with a musically optimistic greeting for the brightest month. New songs by Gigi Perez, Somebody's Child, The Airport 77's and jazzer Kurt Elling get the mid-point of our yer bustin' out all over. And per "Cavalcade" tradition, this first Sunday of the month has the Golden Anniversary LP Crate Dig dialing back to June 1975, when The Isley Brothers, War, The Tubes, Neil Young, Eagles, and Waylon Jennings all found room in the racks.
Cavalcade for May 25

After sopping wet week, let's go camping! ("Sopping" is a grandma admonishment of my youth as in: "Get in the house, you're sopping wet, all sweated!"). Or at least discover songs in a woodland ramble, where Bon Iver and José González share a toadstool with Laura Mvula, Donovan, and Talk Talk. Not beach weather yet, but the great outdoors is a good "Cavalcade choice" for this holiday weekend.

"Cavalcade" welcomes legendary producer and author Joe Boyd for conversation and a retrospective of his truly historic roster of recordings, including Pink Floyd's first single, 10,000 Maniacs' major label debut, and the folk-rock of Nick Drake and Fairport Convention. Add to that the reggae of Toots and the Maytals and a deep connection to world music through Boyd's Hannibal Records label.

"Cavalcade" recently welcomed David Sheff, who has written a new biography Yoko. David offers a glimpse into the Yoko Ono we don't know, and to tell tales anew. Yoko has an incredible backstory as a woman who was born into privilege in Japan before her family descended into ruin.

"Cavalcade" at 6 p.m. welcomes author David Sheff, presenting his new biography Yoko. David joins at 7 p.m. to offer a glimpse into the Yoko Ono we don't know, and to tell the tall tales anew. In between the conversation, I'll feature Yoko songs done by David Byrne, Japanese Breakfast, Patti Smith, Roberta Flack, Flaming Lips and many more. Songs influenced by her — think "Rock Lobster" — and songs that honor her (Barenaked Ladies and Dar Williams earn spins) are also in the mix.
