Juno Rossa – Chris K's Colorado Playlist

MONDAY OCT 16, 2023 – ON THE ROAD AGAIN! We needed some Western Slope love, so we headed out for a long weekend to visit our future home in Grand Junction. Claire got some great shots of the Milky Way overlooking Cedaredge that hopefully we’ll share with you next Monday. Sooooooooo. NO TOP 5 TODAY. Check out the Colorado Playlist Facebook page and I’ll post up there tomorrow. You can find the HOT SPINS on the NoCO Front Range there now.

As happens occasionally, one of the (D) tracks is not yet released. Look for New Family Dog to drop a new album soon. Thanks to Jon Ridnell for getting me a track early to share with you on the show – but you’ll have to listen to the show to hear it for now. See stations and times page for where you can listen until Friday, or on the archive page at ColoradoSound.org

The Colorado Playlist – Expressly and explicitly Colorado from the 60s to Today – From the biggest hits by the biggest hitmakers and award winners in Colorado music history to some some of the freshest new music emerging from the Centennial State.

APRIL 24 2022 – Yep, On the Road AGAIN! Good morning from Prescott, AZ. I launched a new feature this morning = LIVE MUSIC VENUES on the FRONT RANGE

Hope you enjoyed this week’s show. Next week’s show, April 30- May 06 2022, is a SPECIAL – COLORADO MUSIC HALL OF FAME 2011-2022. Next new music episode is tentatively scheduled for May 07-13 2022. Depends on when I get back and if I need a break 😉

Since I tabulate spins on Sundays, there is no TOP 5 this week. There will be a TOP 30 for the month when I return.

On APRIL 16 1974, Queen made their US debut, opening for Mott the Hoople at Regis College (now Regis University) in Denver. This week I honored that special show with cuts from both bands – but this time Mott the Hoople opens for Queen in the set.

I recently searched for “famous singers in Colorado.” Frankly, the results amazed me. I have known about Sons of the Pioneers for many many years, and grew up watching Gunsmoke on black and white television. I had no idea that Ken Curtis was the lead singer of Sons of the Pioneers, nor did I know he played Festus on Gunsmoke in the 50s and 60s.

Another name that popped up in that search was Annaleigh Ashford, who’s appeared on Broadway in Kinky Boots and won a Tony Award for her work in You Can’t Take It With You. She also stars in B-Positive.

Thanks to Starr’s Guitars, LiveMusicColorado.com and Spinitron for their promotional and financial support of the show. The Colorado Playlist is provided free of charge to the stations that broadcast it. It relies on donations. Please donate. It does help to defray the costs in maintaining the show.
