On this week’s Acoustic Highway, we’ll have songs all about the (excessively warm of late) month of July. We’ll hear from artists Bobby Blackhat, Fox and Bear, John Prine, Nanci Griffith, and plenty of others, including Gordon Lightfoot and his anthem “Black Day in July.” Lightfoot issued the song on his 1968 album “Did She mention My Name.” The song reflects the 6 days of Detroit riots in the summer of 1967. The song would eventually be banned by thirty radio stations in the US. We’ll also hear music from Rob Robinson, Norman Blake, and the Weepies, all in a look at the epitome of the summer months- July. Join us on the Acoustic Highway. Sunday night at 9 on WHRV.
