Yes, we’re a news show, but we play great music during the breaks as well! The rest of December will showcase tunes from the best albums of 2014 (see below). We’re on every weekday at 4:00 p.m. You can listen to the archives or check out the playlists at wmnf.org.

WMNF Drive-Time News top 5 albums of 2014

  1. Benjamin Booker – Benjamin Booker

  2. Jack White – Lazaretto

  3. Ray LaMontagne – Supernova

  4. Joseph Arthur – Lou

  5. Led Zeppelin – the 2014 reissues of the first five albums plus companion discs of unreleased material. Yeah, I know this breezes past the other albums listed above, but since all the recordings are from 1972 and before, I didn’t think it was fair to 2014 albums to list it higher).

Honorable mentions: Trigger Hippy, Elephant Stone, Primus, The Orwells (was this 2013?), Ani DiFranco, Robert Plant, Lake Street Dive & Lucinda Williams.

Watch Live on Facebook OR CLICK LISTEN in LINKTREE! #wmnf #Music #communityradio Next up on our Tropical Heatwave Artist Spotlight: Divine AF “These are truly poets of the soul, and masters of the groove. “This Side of Desire” is the funky, rocky, soulful, bluesy album that I’d say a lot of people have been wanting for a long time. It really fills a void in what is today’s music. The variety of genres, rhythms, arrangements, tempos, and vocal stylings keep the listener rapt with attention and tells you that you are entering very special, privileged territory. In addition, the lyrics are great, and so it becomes a sort of a battle to choose between focusing on the words, the music, or the downright stunning vocal performances.”– tunedloud.com CLICK EVENTS IN LINKTREE FOR TICKETS! 🚨 Special Show Alert! 🚨 Tune in this Friday at 10am for a Special interview with Andrew Warren!

The amount of soul in this vocal is absolutely phenomenal. The overall production feels like it could have been recorded in Stax in the last 60s. The vibe feels legit and is something we are proud to support. This one came along at just the right time… not too soon or too late. If you miss the “good old days” when people made “real music” then you need to spin this track” (Too Soon, Too Late)” – Ear To The Ground #thw24 #Livemusic #wmnfevents CLICK EVENTS IN LINKTREE FOR TICKETS!
