I featured brand new songs from Secret Sisters, Pokey LaFarge, Kacey Musgraves & Kimmi Bitter on this United States of Americana. Plus, we remembered Dex Romweber, who founded Flat Duo Jets back in the 1980’s. He died on Friday at 57. We also remembered Bob Stinson, who passed away 29 years ago today.
