Sunday Supper: 03/13/22

Ominously, Tuesday is the Ides of March, but it's also Ry Cooder's 75th birthday. The musically omnivorous guitarist, who began his career in 1965 in a band called Rising Sons with Taj Mahal, has come full circle by reuniting with Taj on the forthcoming album Get On Board: The Songs of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. I'll have a taste of it on this week's "Sunday Supper."

I'll let music by Punch Brothers, Dan Bern, Scott Free, Peggy Seeger, and Diana Jones address the heartbreak in Ukraine, then balance new releases by Steve Poltz, The Accidentals, Windborne, and Tank and the Bangas with favorites by Stevie Wonder, the Buena Vista Social Club, the Wood Brothers, and Suzzy Roche & Lucy Wainwright Roche.

All of this on the day the time changes. Give music a chance from 5-6 p.m. EDT at 90.7 FM and wfuv.org or anytime in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app or the peaceful smart speaker of your choice.
