Cavalcade for March 1

"Cavalcade"at 4 p.m. peers through the looking glass darkly to the future — and brightly at the past — as the latest "Crate Dig" meets songs of now that call out our moment.

U2's "Song of the Future" is the latest of a few that take an unblushing look ahead; count Jesse Welles's "No Kings," a new Nils Lofgren song called "No Kings, No Hate, No Fear," and Gorillaz' mortality-conscious "Orange County" within that pack.

But it's not all gloom/doom, as Kurt Elling offers a big-band reboot of Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out" and Jeff Tweedy gives us permission to "Feel Free."

At 6 p.m., on come the rose-colored glasses for a "Golden Anniversary LP Crate Dig" backspin to the album releases of March 1976, featuring R&B and jazz vibes from Marvin Gaye, George Benson, and The Brothers Johnson. The earliest rumblings of "yacht rock" wiggle from the grooves of Boz Scaggs and The Doobie Brothers plus Thin Lizzy, Slade and KISS shout it out loud. Wings let 'em in, at the speed of sound.

"Cavalcade" basks in at least a couple of hours of sun with the new start time of 4 p.m. on 90.7FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
