American Originals on WYEP
Tune in on July 4th and 5th to hear a series of one-hour shows each focusing on one legendary American artist. Throughout each hour, you’ll hear the impact these artists have had on American music with cuts from their own catalogues, covers of their songs by other artists, collaborations and modern influences.
Bob Dylan
Probably one of the most covered artists in American history, we explore Bob Dylan’s folk songwriting days, his going ìelectricî, and hear how other artists have interpreted his songs in various ways.
Emmylou Harris
From her early days with Gram Parsons to her more recent collaboration with Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris is one of the most respected interpreters in the country. Over the hour we’ll hear many of these collaborations, as well as some of her solo work.
Prince
More than just a great guitar player, or songwriter, Prince’s determination to do things his way has kept his sound fresh, funky and at times controversial. Over the hour, we’ll hear many sides of Prince, and his work interpreted by many different artists.
Bonnie Raitt
Born into a musical family, Bonnie Raitt rediscovered roots and blues music while in college. She has spent the rest of her life promoting them through her own work as well as through other artists.
R.E.M.
As a group, R.E.M. have kept things interesting in their time together. As individuals, their non-group work has been equally interesting. In this hour of American Originals, we’ll hear both sides of one of Georgia’s biggest bands.
Paul Simon
Whether with Art Garfunkel or as a solo act, Paul Simon’s songs have inspired artists of many generations. You’ll hear some of the inspiration that went into his ìGracelandî album, as well as from artists like Vampire Weekend, who are continuing what he started.
