On this United States of Americana I’ll feature a couple of tunes from the new album from The Avett Brothers, plus I’ll feature a pair of tunes from Sturgill Simpson’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, which just celebrated its 10 Anniversary! I also have a bunch of new music from artists like Steve Earle from a new Tom Petty Tribute album, Kiely Connell, Greensky Bluegrass & The Black Crowes featuring Lainey Wilson. We will also remember folk and blues legend Spider John Koerner, who passed away early Saturday morning.
