King of Hearts Radio

THIS STATION IS DEVOTED TO FEMALE SINGERS THAT I ADMIRE, THEY ARE THE QUEENS OF MY HEART. THE TITLE COMES FROM THE LUCINDA WILLIAMS SONG, THE KING OF HEARTS. "LOVE IS A GAMBLE, I KNEW IT FROM THE START, WHOEVER'S DEALING THE CARDS, PLEASE DEAL ME THE KING OF HEARTS." WHAT A GREAT SONG! WILL IT COMES UP IN THE FIRST SEVEN SONGS YOU PLAY? PANDORA WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN! THE STATION INCLUDES FEMALE SINGER/SONGWRITERS LIKE LUCINDA WILLIAMS BUT ALSO INCLUDES BANDS WITH FEMALE SINGERS LIKE THE COWBOY JUNKIES. BONNIE RAITT IS ALSO A BIG FAVORITE BUT SHE HAS BEEN MOVED OVER TO MY "GOOD VIBES RADIO" STATION, SO SWITCH OVER TO "GOOD VIBES" IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DIG BONNIE. THIS RADIO STATION IS GIRLS WITH AN EDGE ONLY! WORKING IN A ROCK AND ROLL/COUNTRY FORMAT, THIS STATION FEATURES ANI DEFRANCO, MELISSA ETHERIDGE, NEKO CASE, SHERYL CROW, SHAWN COLVIN, PATTI LOVELESS, CAT POWER, KATHLEEN EDWARDS AND ALLISON MOORER. MARGO TIMMINS FROM COWBOY JUNKIES IS A BIG FAVORITE. I'VE ALSO INCLUDED TONI PRICE, SARAH McLACHLAN, PATTI WHITTEN, SUE FOLEY, NORAH JONES, MAZZY STAR AND MAGGIE SIMPSON, GINA VILLALOBOS, MICHELLE FEATHERSTONE, ALISON RAY, ROSEANNE CASH, GRETCHEN WILSON, LAURA CANTRELL AND MORE.... I ADDED BETH ORTON AS A SECOND ARTIST SEED TO GIVE THE STATION MORE OF A POP EDGE. IF HEM'S "NOT CALIFORNIA" IS ANY INDICATION OF THE RESULTS, THEN THIS WAS A SUCCESSFUL MOVE. HOWEVER, I MUST NOT LOSE TRACK OF THE FACT THAT MY ORIGINAL INTENTION WAS TO CREATE A STATION THAT WAS 100% DEDICATED TO LUCINDA WILLIAMS. I TEMPORARILY REPLACED MARGO TIMMINS WITH BETH ORTON BUT ADDING COWBOY JUNKIES AGAIN APPEALS TO ME. FOR THE MOMENT, COWBOY JUNKIES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO "MODERN POP" RADIO. (Written in Summer, 2008) Seven years later, I decided to drop Beth Orton and replace her with Beth Hart. I also added Neko Case and Susan Tedeschi. Also included is two song seeds by Lucinda Williams: "Sweet Side" and "Those Three Days". Eventually, if this station's play becomes clogged, I may add Lucinda's album _World_Without_Tears_ as song seeds. I've never listened to that album but I can remember Annie Armstrong purchasing it in New York City soon after it came out in 2003. I am very pleased with this station's play; it almost never plays a male artist (Written in Summer, 2014). https://www.pandora.com/station/204919796020062382
