1972 is often held up as the greatest year of new releases in history - so many forms and breakthroughs were happening, the year was really a culmination in so many respects. Tune in tomorrow (January 25, 2023) and hear for yourself as DJ Mateo and guest DJ Todd attempt to crunch the plethora of classics and amazing song into 2 hours & then you can make your own decision! We'll also be taping the show as always and you can listen in here soon.
Please tune in from 2PM - 4PM Mountain time on KFFR.org or if you're in Grand County turn your dial to 88.5 FM. The idea for this show first came from the Black Crowes' amazing 2023 album, titled 1972, as we've been playing song after song and thinking all things 1972 since its release earlier last year & friend of Mateo's Magic Bus, Erik Deutsch played keys on the European leg of the Crowes' 2023 European Tour.
As we have been pouring through all the amazing music over these past days and weeks, it's daunting for sure, so many household staples from Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, I Can See Clearly Now to Tumbling Dice, Lean on Me, Superwoman, Reelin' in the Years, Old Man, Stand Back, Ziggy Stardust, Walk on the Wild Side, there's really no end. After cutting and cutting we got the list down to 4 hours - let's see what happens tomorrow and what decisions will be made but we bet you'll agree, 1972 was at least as good as any year prior and any year hence.
Broadcast high in the Rockies each week from 2PM - 4PM MT on KFFR 88.3-FM and KFFR.org, Mateo’s Magic Bus takes listeners on a journey around the world, exploring the roots of jazz and blues alongside music from today and the past decades that has been influenced by these incredible art forms.
Let's rock like its 1972!
DJ Mateo and DJ Todd
