KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR Mix service or HPPR Connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Fifty years after recording "Do the Reggay" in 1968, Toots Hibbert performed the most exuberant set I saw at this year's Newport Folk Festival. Toots and the Maytals helped create reggae in the '60s with some of the most creative and exciting records to come out of Jamaica. The legend's Newport set was packed with songs from throughout his career. The oldest, "I'll Never Grow Old," was originally released in 1963 — when Hibbert was only 21 — and captured the spirit he brought to the show. Hibbert played with joy and energy, keeping his terrific band on its toes. This will warm up your New Year's celebrations like nothing else.

SET LIST:

  • "Get Up, Stand Up"

  • "Do the Reggay"

  • "Time Tough"

  • "Sweet and Dandy"

  • "I'll Never Grow Old"

  • "Funky Kingston"

  • "Never Get Weary"

  • "Take Me Home, Country Roads" (John Denver)

  • "Monkey Man"

  • "54-46 (That's My Number)"
