March 16, 2006 – Tune into the Doug Lewis Show on WVGN 107.3 FM, Sunday, March 19, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. This Sunday, you will be entertained by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Harry Manx, Mitch Woods, Rosie Ledet, and many more.
The Modern Music Feature CD is "Hammersmith Odeon London 1975" from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. This CD features a live show recorded just around the time that Springsteen was beginning to receive national attention and acclaim. Bruce and the band recorded a smokin hot show and it's captured in all its glory on this release.
The Indie Spotlight CD is "Mantras for Madmen" from Harry Manx, an amazingly unique acoustic blues artist, who blends Indian music and Eastern influences into his own unique take on the blues.
