It was a Wilco Weekend; I played along and spun a couple of tunes on the show.  A Complete Unknown, the new Bob Dylan film opens Christmas day. I featured a few tunes from those early days in the the Big Apple, after he left Minnesota! Plus, we are inching closer to Christmas, I played a few holiday tunes on the airwaves and I featured some brand-new songs to play from Drew and Ellie Holcomb and Dwight Yoakam, as well!
