August 11, 2013

Hour number 1 for the latest USofA is Elvis At Stax, celebrating Elvis Presley's recordings at Stax Studio in Memphis in 1973. Elvis Week is happening all week long in Memphis as we approach the anniversary of his death.

It the usual USofA fare in the 2nd hour. I featured new music from The Civil Wars, Robbie Fulks, Sarah Jarosz and Glen Campbell.
