So, what do these three fine artists have in common? Stewarts one and all, of course. All fine songwriters: yes. All produced great albums like these from the authentic KNX/FM 93 library: yes.
And best for fans like us, Al, Rod and John are all regular contributors to The Mellow Sound.net. Catch 'em along with 2000+ more hand picked tracks every week.

KNX/FM 93 had a LOT of talent right down the street in Hollywood in the day. Just for starters, there was The Byrds with Chris Hillman, Buffalo Springfield & Poco with Richie Furay and J. D. Souther. These bands made some classic records and the guys went on to make a lot of solo & group Mellow Sounds. We're pleased to keep 'em spinning (along with their mates McGuinn and Stills).

A gifted singer and a mean guitarist, Bonnie has been a key artist of The Mellow Sound of KNX/FM 93 from the beginning. Her early albums are full of gems you'll catch often with us. As the song says: we "Can't Get Enough" of Bonnie's talent and musical taste.

He's been with us from the beginning of KNX/FM. It's Christopher Ames, the ever vigilant keeper of The Odyssey File. You hear him all 'round the clock with his special take on the people and events of today. Exclusively on The Mellow Sound.net. (We knew you had to see the face behind the voice!)

Dylan. One of a kind songwriter celebrated everyday on The Mellow Sound with performances by George Harrison, Joan Baez, Rick Nelson, Rita Coolidge, Peter, Paul & Mary, The Byrds and more. Not to ignore Bob's own like Tangled Up In Blue, Shelter From The Storm, Lay Lady Lay, Positively 4th Street and many more. Great writers have always been "our thing" on The Mellow Sound.

We never stop working (if you can call it that!) to keep the Mellow Sound authentic to the original KNX/FM. Just this week we've added tracks from these fine artists and more. It's true variety for you every time you tune in.

JD is all over The Mellow Sound with his solo albums plus joining with Eagles, Chris Hillman, Richie Furay, James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt for great tracks like Best Of My Love, You're Only Lonely, Border Town, Prisoner In Disguise, Her Town Too. Smart lyrics and cool melodies.

In southern California, KNX/FM was everywhere in the seventies. Early in 1977, Dustin Hoffman was making his feature film "Straight Time" on the streets of L. A. This shot of a huge painted outdoor station billboard made the final cut. Thanks to an alert listener who sent us this screen shot. The sky was gray that day but the music is still shining though today at The Mellow Sound - A KNX / FM 93 Tribute

We have the feeling that many songwriters are proud to have Rita Coolidge interpret their songs. Listen for Rita's take on Dylan, Van Morrison, Jackie DeShannon, Troy Seals, Boz Scaggs, Neil Sedaka, Tim Rice, The Bee Gees and more. She's a key artist of The Mellow Sound from the very beginning.

We're still musical after all these years....to borrow a phrase from classic songwriter Mr. Simon. Together and solo or with friends like James Taylor and Randy Newman, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are essential artists of The Mellow Sound. We hand pick many album tracks you won't hear elsewhere.

Here's where we find ourselves in 2024. However, we don't see it as a FORK in the road at all but as a MERGING of great analog music with high quality 21st century delivery. The Mellow Sound has always been about great songs performed by real talented people in real studios. So, we still have our turntables and extensive library dedicated to original years of KNX/FM 1973-1983. And your ANALOG ears.
