On this episode it’s a special anniversary show celebrating 15 years of United States of Americana, the rootsier side of The Current.
We celebrated on air with 15 songs from artists who helped define the last 15 years: artists like Margo Price, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, First Aid Kit and more. Plus, we'll hear memorable in-studio performances from the past decade and a half!
