Jade Bird

My KUTX // October 11th, 2025

Here in Austin the grackle is a big part of our collective city identity. But for a few years there was another bird in town that we took a lot of pride in calling one of our own. And no we’re not using “bird” in the antiquated English slang sense of the word.

We’re referring instead to singer-songwriter Jade Bird, who shared her third full-length Who Wants to Talk About Love? back in mid-July. And in the midst of touring that new material (which includes a KUTX-presented free performance next Wednesday, October 15th at Central Machine Works) Jade brought her joyous, contagious energy to the KUTX control room with some of her recent and all-time favorite tunes in tow.

Playlist:

  1. The Felice Brothers – “Jazz on the Autobahn”
  2. Wanda Jackson – “Funnel Of Love”
  3. Slow Pulp – “Falling Apart”
  4. Bully – Lose You (feat. Soccer Mommy)
  5. Bonnie Raitt – “I Can’t Make You Love Me”
  6. Alex G – “Bobby”
  7. Bob Dylan – “Subterranean Homesick Blues”
  8. Kings of Leon – “The Bucket”
  9. Tyler Childers – “Whitehouse Road”
  10. Loudon Wainwright III – “The Swimming Song”
  11. Maston – “Infinite Bliss”
  12. Bad Company – “Feel Like Makin’ Love”
  13. Don Williams – “Tulsa Time”
  14. Kaitlin Butts – “You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead To Me)”
  15. Gabriella Rose – “Doublewide”
