YELLOWDOG RADIO -- Karl Prager

Recent Playlists

I play psychedelia from the '60s and '70s and its current manifestations in electronica and jam bands, mixing 20% long cuts from "classic" albums, 20% personal favorites and 60% newest releases from the New Rack.
 
I grew up in Louisiana, becoming a music fan in the early '70s. I was a big fan of Todd Rundgren, Yes, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd -- music that pushed boundaries and challenged its listeners.  I also loved simple, emotional roots rock, such as Ozark Mountain Daredevils, the Outlaws, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Allman Brothers.  Appreciation for jazz grew out of being a high school band geek.  I find these influences come together in current jam band music.
 
Music I'm Listening to Now:  String Cheese Incident, Crooked Still, Shaman's Dream, New Monsoon, Cornmeal, Santana, Beatles, psychedelia.
