WMMR - MMaRchives PodcastJackson Browne - Take It Easy - Live from the MMaRchivesOne of the shows that WMMR broadcast live from the Main Point in Bryn Mawr is Jackson Browne on September 7th, 1975. Though “Take It Easy” was first released by the Eagles, it was co-written by Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne. Since Browne's single arrived later, the Eagles' take on the song is more widely known. In country-fried interpretation of the song you’ll hear a violin; that’s acclaimed multi-instrumentalist David Lindley.

WMMR - MMaRchives PodcastChris Cornell - Fell On Black Days - Live from the MMaRchivesFew voices have been able to balance power and grace quite like that of Chris Cornell, and WMMR has been fortunate enough to have him on the air with us on several occasions. Though he's best known for his work with Soundgarden, his catalog runs deep, and includes solo albums like Higher Truth which ended up being his final LP. This MMaRchive Session took place while he was touring in support of that album, on October 15th, 2015. During that session we were treated to a beautiful version of "Fell On Black Days" with cello accompaniment by Brian Gibson.
