The new year’s first installment of Rock ‘n Roll Station amounts to a collection of broken-hearted ballads and torch songs from a range of artists including Gavin Friday, Stevie Wonder, Julee Cruise, Billie Holiday, Red House Painters, Low and others. And in observation of the upcoming concert by Wrekmeister Harmonies on Tuesday, January 7th, at the Great American Music Hall, we hear their latest recording, You’ve Always Meant So Much To Me, in its entirety during the second hour of the program.

Rock ‘n Roll Station airs each Thursday morning from 8:00 to 10:00 AM, bringing you two hours of free-form programming in the classic spirit of 1960s underground radio.
It’s the music of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Hosted by Ferrara Brain Pan.
