Music for a Monday delivers the best of world and international music each week, only on North Country Public Radio.

About the Host

Jackie Sauter
Host Jackie Sauter

Can't sing, don't play an instrument, but I sure do love music, all kinds, and I love sharing it with listeners on Mondays. Besides enriching our own lives, music really is a universal language and has so many possibilities for helping us understand each other better and come to a fuller appreciation of other cultures and world views. The emphasis on the show is on world music, but we also take many eclectic side trips to swing, jazz, blues, folk, country, pop and beyond, with special attention paid to new releases that I think you would enjoy. Public radio listeners are a sophisticated and discriminating bunch, so keeping up with you is always a challenge.

And in case you need a list, here's one—my recommendations, some old, some new. I'll update it from time to time. If you like the show, you will like these recommendations!

Jackie's featured artist picks
Born and raised in small-town Texas, Foster spent time in both New York and the U.S. Navy Band before settling back in Austin. Her new album, <em>Let It Burn,</em> features a mix of originals and covers, plus some stirring collaborations...
 
Now in his late 70s, the singer-songwriter has just released a new album, his first collection of new material in eight years, titled <em>Old Ideas</em>. Rock critic Ken Tucker says these Cohen songs work as both pop music and as prayers.
 
The iconic singer/songwriter shares stories about life and the songs on his new album, <em>Old Ideas.</em>
 
<em>Old Ideas</em> contemplates mortality in the bitter light of failed romance. It fearlessly broaches emotional extremes while still dropping the wisdom of an elder who should know better.
 
This week, <em>All Songs</em> celebrates Robin Hilton's return to the mic with its first episode of all-new music this year.
