Get the extra Jordan Davis track ‘Like God Intended’

August 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

You may not realize it, but even if you’ve been streaming Jordan Davis‘ new Learn the Hard Way album, you’re probably missing a track.

Jordan revealed the extra tune — and how to get it — on his socials.

“I wrote a song called ‘Like God Intended’ that didn’t make it on the record,” Jordan said. “I played it during my album listening party and it sounds like you all want this one to come out. To get this track, download the album from my website before Thursday at midnight ET, you can get it as a bonus track!”

Adding an extra track you can only get from the artist’s website seems to be a trend, as Jordan’s label mate Parker McCollum did the same thing when his fifth album came out in June.

If you listen closely, you’ll also hear the Learn the Hard Way cut “Ain’t Enough Road” in Jordan’s new commercial for Cracker Barrel.

On This Day, Aug. 20, 1973: The Rolling Stones release ‘Angie’

August 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, Aug. 20, 1973…

The Rolling Stones released the new tune “Angie,” the lead off single to their 11th studio album Goats Head Soup.

There’s been a lot of speculation as to the inspiration behind the track, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, with some suggesting it was about David Bowie’s first wife Angie Bowie or actress Angie Dickinson.

Other speculation suggested it was written about Richards’ daughter, Dandelion Angela Richards, and in liner notes to 1993’s greatest hits compilation, Jump Back: The Best of The Rolling Stones, Richards seemed to confirm that. But Richards changed his tune in his 2010 memoir Life, writing that the song title was chosen before he knew his daughter’s name would be Angela.

“Angie” went on to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also topped the chart in several other countries, although it peaked at #5 in the U.K.

‘Darlin” is the gamble that paid off for Chase Matthew

August 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

With time to kill at a casino, some artists might indulge in some gambling, but not Chase Matthew.

Instead, Chase played the odds and ended up with his top-15 hit “Darlin’.”

“We ended up in the Midwest where we couldn’t really justify going home, just to have to turn back around and come back. So we ended staying there at the hotel,” he tells ABC Audio. “And so I brought the studio [equipment] in my hotel room and started writing this song.”

After finishing it back in Nashville, it was time to test it out on the road.

“It’s gone on to be the crowd favorite, like everyone at shows is just like chanting for that song,” he says. “They buy the big ‘Darlin” hats and … they’re excited about that one.”

Chase is currently Down Under touring Australia with Keith Urban on his High & Alive World Tour. If you can’t make it there to pick up your own “Darlin'” hat, you get one on Chase’s website, of course.

New poster celebrates 50th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born To Run’

August 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Monday will mark the 50th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s blockbuster album Born To Run, and to mark the occasion a new lithograph poster has been released to raise money for charity.

The poster was created by photographer Eric Meola, who shot the original Born To Run cover, along with art director Dave Bett. It features a photo of Springsteen from the album’s cover shoot, holding up the collar of his leather jacket with his guitar slung across his shoulder.

Proceeds from the sale are going to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, an organization Bruce has supported for years. The organization is also reaching a milestone: 50 years of providing food and help to the community.

“You know, I like to believe that it’s a magical thing that it’s the 50th anniversary for the FoodBank as well as for Born to Run,” Meola says. “There’s something symbiotic going on there — it’s just magical.”

He adds, “It was only natural that when I saw Bruce donating to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, I said to myself, ‘What an incredible thing. I’ve got this treasure trove of photographs that are some of the most sought-after photographs of Bruce, and what a great way to make money for the food bank.'”

A limited number of hand-numbered posters are now available, with a limit of two per person.

Released Aug. 25, 1975, Born To Run was Springsteen’s third album and helped him garner mainstream success. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard charts and went on to become a massive hit for The Boss, thanks to songs like the title track, “Thunder Road” and “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out.”

It was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in 2015.

Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley reunites with beloved guitar played with Iggy Pop

August 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley has reunited with the guitar that he previously played along with Iggy Pop.

The pewter gray Telecaster can be seen in the video for “Little Know It All,” Sum 41’s 2003 collaboration with the Godfather of Punk. Whibley also played it during Sum 41’s performance with Iggy at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards Latinoamérica in Miami.

The guitar has long been in the possession of the Hard Rock Cafe. In February Whibley sent out an open request to the music-themed restaurant chain asking if they could “work something out.” Now, sixth months later, the Tele is back in Whibley’s hands.

“Reunited with an old friend after 20 years!” Whibley writes in an Instagram post alongside photos of him holding the returned guitar.

Whibley adds that he’ll be releasing a video documenting the guitar’s journey back to him.

Sum 41 played the last show of their farewell tour in January and got back together for one last performance at Canada’s Juno Awards in March.

The Beach Boys’ Al Jardine at odds with Mike Love over Brian Wilson’s funeral

August 19, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson was laid to rest in early August, and, according to Rolling Stone, his bandmates Al Jardine and Mike Love gave speeches at a gathering after the funeral. But according to Jardine, Love’s speech didn’t really focus on Wilson.

“Mike wanted everybody to know that he wrote every single word of ‘Good Vibrations,'” Jardine told the mag in an interview that took place eight days after the funeral. “I didn’t feel the compassion, let’s put it that way. Mike’s got some serious megalomania problems.”

Jardine added, “I was focusing on Brian, and Mike was more focused on Mike. I think that is what it boiled down to.”

But a rep for Love denies Jardine’s account of what happened.

“That’s not true,” the rep told the mag. “Mike’s focus has always been on uplifting audiences around the world through the music he helped create with his bandmates and cousin Brian.”

“His commitment has been to preserve and share this great American songbook while providing resources to fellow Beach Boys shareholders, including Al Jardine,” the statement continued. “In addition, Mike and The Beach Boys have dedicated significant time and support to nonprofit organizations using their platform to give back to communities in need.”

Wilson passed away in June at the age of 82. His daughter Carnie Wilson revealed that he was laid to rest on Aug. 6.

Jardine is currently on tour with the Pet Sounds Band, made up of members of Wilson’s band. The tour hits Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on Friday. A complete list of dates can be found at AlJardine.com.
