Hi everybody in JiveRadioLand! This is your JiveRadio Guy Jeff Cotton and I’ve compiled a look back at the musical career of a relatively obscure but nonetheless great master craftsman of Americana music… Larry Hosford.

Now, unless you listened to KFAT-FM out of Gilroy in the late ’70’s, or were around the Reno club scene in the early 80’s, or spent time around Salinas, you might have missed ol’ Hos’… or ‘Lorenzo’ as some of us knew him. Well, we’ve played all of his songs on all of our stations for years and we love him.

Unfortunately for us, Dick Cheney outlived ol’ Lorenzo… so check out JiveRadio’s tribute to the inimitable songster Larry Hosford.  Only here on JiveRadio.

Guy Clark died May 17, 2016.  KJIV is proud to present Don Darue paying a lasting tribute to one of our greatest songwriters, period!

Guy Clark songs are a lot like Guy Clark. Some are dramatic, almost self-consciously so, and others seem to wink at you.

They are all intensely personal. “Desperados Waiting for a Train” is about a man who took Guy under his wing when he was a boy growing up.

“New Cut Road” is about a man he wished he knew, a fiddle-playing master he’d wished he met.

He wrote songs about things he valued: loyalty (“Old Friends”), respect (“Stuff That Works”), small gifts that bring great pleasure (“Homegrown Tomatoes”), and trusting your muse (“Boats to Build” and “The Cape”).

Running through all of them was Guy’s love of language. “Heartbroke,” became Guy’s first number one for Ricky Skaggs in 1982.  The lyrics to “Instant Coffee Blues,” a song about a shortsighted tryst of a couple clearly not destined for togetherness—read like a short story.

Many of Guy’s records, like 1995’s Dublin Blues, are now indispensable to songwriting fans.

Dondo eloquently captures the very essence of the incomparable Guy Clark on the following programs.  Enjoy!

Dig if you will THIS picture……the latest in Fine 89 tributes to fallen superstars is done and loaded and ready to roll.  yes, it’s of course the Prince Trib, and you can hear hthis 105 minute sonic retrospective…click on it and listen at your convenience, which is nice.

The format for this tribute–i used only 4 of prince’s THIRTY NINE ALBUMS.  the guy was not just a genius, but a prolific one.  so to get this trib special on the air in a speedy fashion, i went with 4 of his greatest discs…..1999, Purple Rain, Around The World in a Day, and Sign O’ The Times.  I fired up 19 songs from those 4 albums, and the result…..well, it sounds pretty freakin’ great.  It will thoroughly remind you just how special a talent Prince truly was, and completely deserving of his status as legend, icon, and totally awesome mofo. yes, all the hits are in the mix….and a lot more.   as usual, it was a blast to produce and re-acquaint myself with another outstanding and impressive body of work!  we say farewell and good-bye in the best possible way…..with love, respect, admiration, and volume!  crank it up and let it rip……and i hope you enjoy it much and that it brings up all kinds of memories and emotions.  BVD
