JOHN MCGEOCH on the Thursday Night Feature, Thursday 9 p.m.-midnight
This week we will celebrate the work of Scottish guitarist John McGeoch
who died last month in his sleep. Called "the new wave Jimmy Page" by
"Mojo" magazine and "one of the true good guys" by Smiths drummer Mike
Joyce, McGeoch got his start playing in Magazine, arguably the first post
punk group ever. He would go on to be a member of Siouxsie and the
Banshees, the Public Image Ltd, and Visage. He was also a clever and
versitle session musician who, at different times, recorded with Matthew
Sweet, Peter Murphy, Generation X, The Skids, and Glenn Gregory of Heaven
17 among others.

WAYLON JENNINGS on Hell or High Water, Sunday 1-2 p.m.
"There's always one more way to do something--your way." Notoriously
resistant to poppy, schmaltzy, Nashville conventions, Waylon Jennings
earned a reputation as a rebel and embodied country music's outlaw
movement. While hyping the outlaw image certainly proved profitable for
his record label, Jennings' position in Nashville enabled him to produce
his own distinctive sound, incorporating elements of Texas swing, rock and
roll, folk music, and R&B. Listen in for some pre-outlaw Waylon featuring
his rockabilly roots and collaborations with prolific songwriter Harlan
Howard, as well as the uncompromising later material that eventually
defined him.
