In The Studio - May 13, 2012

  Play Now [1:59:59]

May 13, 2012

It's the last few hours of Mother's Day, so if you haven't done so yet, give your mom a thank you. I'll be tossing in some songs about moms in the next few hours to give moms a little more love.

Also up ahead, two great in-studio performances and conversations from the past week. We'll hear from Justin Townes Earle about his greatest moment and watching his father's character on Treme get offed. Also, Josh Tillman, of Fleet Foxes, brings us songs from his new project Father John Misty and stories from the tour.
