Studio Spotlight: A Chat with Tracy Stephens! What an incredible time we had in the studio with Tracy Stephens—a 71-year-old powerhouse taking on an 8,600-mile bike ride to raise funds for the American Cancer Society! His story, determination, and love for **rock 'n' roll** left us absolutely inspired. Tracy's ride is nothing short of legendary, proving that age is just a number when it comes to making a difference. This is a fight that touches us all, and we're so honored to help spotlight his mission. The full show featuring Tracy's story, his favorite tunes, and all the behind-the-scenes fun will be posted **soon** on Radio Wilder's YouTube channel. Stay tuned—this one's not to be missed! In the meantime, let's rally behind Tracy. Every donation to his ride fuels the fight against cancer. Head over to https://bit.ly/4293iYw Please give what you can.

This week on RadioWilderLive.com, we're throwing it back to our 3rd anniversary show, where we celebrated with a wild audio party! From a simple tribute to my daughter to 7 years of amazing memories, we've come a long way! We kick it off with some bluesy grit from Albert King's "The Hunter," then Lucinda Williams got things steamy with "Walk On!" Excited to debut new music from New Jersey's Kanake with their killer track (trust us, you'll dig it!). Keith Richards rocks in with "Get Off of Me," followed by a late 60s flashback with Love's "Seven and Seven." The Ventures, arguably the greatest instrumental band ever, prove their chops with "Walk Don't Run" (38 albums charted in the 60s, that's #6 all-time!). Dion croons the beautiful "Why Must I Be a Teenager in Love?" while The Sonics, the original garage band, growl out "Have Love, Will Travel," later covered by Paul Revere & The Raiders in The Dueces. And a shout-out to my other Syracuse grad besides my Dad: Lou Reed with the epic "Sweet Jane." And The Verbs round it out with the smoking hot "Burnt Out Star." Join us for our third-anniversary show four years later. What a wild ride it has been! Thanks for rocking with RadioWilderLive.com for all these years!
Reflecting on our past episodes of RadioWilderLive.com, we've noticed the request line popping up less frequently than before. Remember, this line is all about you—our audience—getting to hear your favorite tunes on air. The more requests we receive, the more dynamic and enjoyable our show becomes, not just for you, but for us too! It's also your go-to for tee-shirt orders, personal shout-outs, and hopefully, a simpler route to broadcast your own tracks. In RadioWilder's heyday, listener requests were the heartbeat of every show. We're on a mission to bring back that live, interactive spirit! This week, as you set off on summer adventures or unwind on staycations, let our music be your companion. Dial 602-935-4989 for free within the US to send in your music requests. If you're tuning in from abroad, drop us a line at info@radiowilder.com, and we'll sort you out. Glancing over this playlist, it's a delightful surprise to see names everyone should recognize—a spontaneous mix that's just as exciting for us as it is for you. And to make things even better, a new group from New Jersey called KANAK reached out to us to see if we would play their new stuff, and of course, we will! They've got a new EP out called "On the Outside" that you should definitely check out! Thank you, as always, for making RadioWilderLive.com part of your listening routine!
In the golden era of the 1960s and early 70s, Laurel Canyon emerged as a musical haven. This wooded enclave, nestled in the Hollywood Hills just above Los Angeles and beyond the famed Sunset Boulevard, became a storied sanctuary for a host of American musicians. It was here that legends like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash, The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, and The Byrds laid down their roots and created a legacy. Laurel Canyon, more than just a neighborhood, was a muse to many. It's where Jim Morrison penned “Love Street,” and Joni Mitchell brought “Ladies of the Canyon” to life. This week on RadioWilder, we pay homage to the sounds that sprang from this mythic locale. From Frank Zappa to Canned Heat, who both lived and recorded in the Canyon, to Jackson Browne and The Monkees who left their mark, we're diving deep into the Canyon's lore. Join us as we rewind time and revisit the Canyon scene. We'll share tales and tunes from some of the most influential rock ‘n' roll music ever produced. Don't miss out on this musical journey through history with RadioWilderLive.com.
Get ready as the rockin' ride continues at RadioWilderLive.com! We continued to hit the open road across Texas, Utah, and Oregon, pushing the limits. Envision the scene: boundless highways unfurling through the open countryside. Fasten your seatbelts, beloved audience, for we're about to transform this broadcast into a rock saga. Imagine ‘I Can See for Miles' by The Who, ‘Time Running' by Tegan and Sara, and ‘Expressway to Your Heart' by Duke of Earl syncing in harmony. The air was alive with Michael Franti's reggae rhythms in ‘A Little Bit of Riddim', while Betty Davis' alluring tones in ‘They Say I'm Different' murmured hidden truths. Ugly Kid Joe and Harry Chapin united as father and son in ‘Cat's in the Cradle' from The Dueces, their moving narrative mingling with the breeze, prompting reflections on life's twists, lost instants, and the path forward. What truly separates 65 mph from 80? It's not simply 15—it's a sensation akin to 30! It's the exhilaration of shattering limits, of merging with the essence of speed. Shout out to our comrades at Tenant Property Protection in Napa, reveling in wine among the vineyards: may your goblets brim with cherished recollections on your 15-year milestone. As we navigate towards the summertime coast, be on the lookout for Capt'n Dave and The Internet Radio Man tees—they're soon to arrive! And as the dusk absorbs the last melodies, we offer our profound gratitude to our valued listeners. You make the music come alive. Keep it loud, keep it wild, and keep rockin' with RadioWilderLive.com. Here's to journeys that are just as amazing as the destination!
The words echoed in our hearts as we embarked on a wild adventure. Picture this: wide-open roads stretching across three states—Texas, Utah, and Oregon—each adorned with speed limit signs proudly displaying the magic number: 80. A thrill surged through our veins; we knew that hitting 90 was inevitable. Buckle up, dear listeners, for this show is about to become a rock anthem at RadioWilderLive.com! ‘I Can See for Miles' with the Who, 'Time Running' by Tegan and Sarah, and Duke of Earl 'Expressway to Your Heart,' all lined up perfectly. Michael Franti's reggae-infused beats infused the air with 'A Little Bit of Riddim' and Betty Davis' sultry voice whispered secrets with 'They Say I'm Different'. Ugly Kid Joe and Harry Chapin joined forces as Father and son with 'Cat's in the Cradle' in The Dueces. Their poignant tale echoed through the wind and we wondered about life's turns, missed moments, and the road ahead. What is the difference between 65 miles an hour and 80? Not a mere 15—it feels more like 30! It's the thrill of breaking barriers, of becoming one with velocity. To our friends, Tenant Property Protection, in Napa, sipping wine amidst vineyards: may your glasses overflow with memories on your 15th anniversary. As Memorial Day approaches, turn your dial to RadioWilder. Feel the wind whip through your hair, taste the freedom of 80, and let the music carry you. As always, the request hotline: is toll-free at 602-935-4989. And as our ship sails toward summer shores, watch for the Capt'n Dave and The Internet Radio Man t-shirts—they're coming soon! And as the final notes fade into the sunset, we extend a heartfelt thank you to our cherished listeners. Your ears and hearts give our music a home. Until next time, keep the volume up and the spirit wild. Thank you for tuning into RadioWilderLive.com—where the journey is just as thrilling as the destination.
It was 2020, the year when the world paused. The RadioWilderLive.com crew found rhythm in the quiet - a chance to strum a tune of adventure we'd never played before. We set our sights on the US national parks, with Yellowstone National Park taking the lead. Two SUVs, packed to the brim with the essentials - food for the soul and fuel for the spirit (and yes, a little liquor for laughter!). As we rolled into Yellowstone, time slowed down. We weren't just visitors; we were part of the landscape. Picnic lunches became feasts of freedom, and our cabins at night - sanctuaries of serenity. In the Badlands of South Dakota, we dined al fresco, the rugged beauty a backdrop to our banquet. This Flashback Show, aptly named National Park Vacation, echoes the euphoria of those days. “Learning to Fly” by Tom Petty wasn't just a song; it was our anthem. And “Red, Red Wine”? More than a tune, it was a toast to togetherness, covered beautifully by Neil Diamond and UB40. “Eight Miles High” by the Byrds soared as high as our spirits, and Jimmy Cliff assured us, “You Can Get It If You Really Want” - and get it, we did. Good News segment spotlighted legends: Jeff Beck, Les Paul, and Sam Cooke. “Rock On” by T. Rex wasn't just a song; it was a command, and we obeyed. Celebrations were in order: Tenant Property Protection's 15th and Ashley Earick's 17th anniversaries - milestones on our wilder journey. And a special shout-out to our friends from Denmark on their recent successful tour! And a heartfelt thank you to our listeners, the wilder ones, for tuning in to RadioWilderLive.com and making us a part of your day.
