Our Stereo Sessions presented by MEMPHO aren't always a stuffy, sit-down musical affair. The first one of the new season, which honored The Hellcats' 1990 effort 'Hoodoo Train' was fierce, fiery, chatty, and - dare we say - a bit 'catty!'

Discover our community's heartbeat with Willy Bearden's 'Songs That Move You'! ever Monday at 9 am on 91.7 FM, as Willy interviews locals about the music shaping their lives. Can't tune in live? Catch up on WYXR.org archives.
