Time Warp Weekend with Echoes of Time brings together the songs we’re spotlighting now, the soul classics that inspired them, and a hint of what’s coming next.
The Road Goes On Forever is a tribute playlist honoring the late Joe Ely and Tommy McLain
We’re celebrating the life and legacy of Steve Cropper—the guitarist, writer, and producer whose sound defined Stax and Southern soul
Waltz Across Texas with Ernest Tubb, Jimmy Donley, Floyd Tillman–style heartbreakers and Gulf Coast country crooners. Steel guitar, slow dancers, and barroom story songs from Texas honky-tonks to the Louisiana line — a true Gulf Coast Groove.
Late-night South and Southwest vibes: Freddy’s bilingual heartbreak, Wolfman-related favorites, Gulf Coast soul and Tex-Mex, and Marty Robbins’ classic Western story-songs.
Freddy, Barbara, Aretha, Roy—with Crazy Cajun covers (Gregg Allman’s “Neighbor, Neighbor,” Cold Blood’s “I’m a Good Woman), Roy’s killer instrumentals, and bonus fun: “Rub It In” by Billy “Crash” Craddock.
From Gulf Coast grooves to silver-screen nods, it’s the perfect lead-in to Halloween. Plus, the playlist threads multiple versions of “Marie Laveau”—from Bobby Bare’s country hit to Dr. Hook’s rowdy take and Dr. John’s NOLA spin—same legend, three different styles.
Weekend recap with our “mystery man” Jerry LaCroix—White Trash, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Boogie Kings—plus Freddy Fender classics. We also include friends of Crazy Cajun mentioned this week (e.g., Burt Reynolds) and the Tracey Balin tie-in. Hit play: Give It Everything Got.
Start the weekend with Rare Earth’s “I Just Want to Celebrate”, Atoast to the Crazy Cajun legacy and the Gulf Coast groove that keeps the world dancing. 🌴🎶
Rolling into fall with Texas country classics from the ’70s and ’80s. Honky-tonk lights, Gilley’s dancehall nights, and the sound of Houston’s country scene — all in one set.
From Clifton Chenier’s zydeco fire to Clarence “Frogman” Henry’s New Orleans charm, Freddy Fender’s Tex-Mex ballads, and Doug Sahm’s fearless blend of styles, this playlist captures the Gulf Coast in all its colors.
