Playlist for 1-21-2014 WFCF - Red Jackets Only!

"Untitled" - Evalina Oliveira

Visit the artist's website!

Red Jackets Only show! Only cds/albums with red as the featured (or only) color on the cover get played! The idea for this themed show came from listening to Brad Upton's "Lionheart" album, the artwork thereof being quite red. As always - the theme caused me to examine albums that otherwise don't get much of my attention for whatever reason. I enjoy that, and it adds variety to the broadcast. After finishing the playlist, I discovered a whole bunch more albums with very red artwork, so there will most certainly be a 2nd edition. Meanwhile - enjoy the redness! Listen live Tuesday January 21st from 3-7pm EST on 88.5FM WFCF if you are in the listening area, or online via iHeart by clicking here. See you then - Kendo
