This time on United States of Americana I've got some good stuff coming up. We'll hear a cool new soul/blues tune from Jontavious Willis that'll get your toes tapping! Also on the agenda are songs from Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors featuring Vince Gill, plus Marcedes Carroll, Willie Nelson covers the Flaming Lips, Leon Bridges from his new album and a new song from Dwight Yoakam's first new record in 9 years.

I will also dig out an old song from Gordon Lightfoot, as the 49 Anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald is on the 10th of November.
