This time in 1969 George Jones and Tammy Wynette were married. Their marriage didn’t last but they made some great duets together and would even continue to tour and record together even after their divorce. So, we’ll feature a couple of duets from George and Tammy and others, like Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, Billie Joe & Norah, Gram & Emmylou and more!

On this show we’ll spend a little time in the winners circle and play some of the artists from the Americana world who took home statuettes from the Grammy Awards the other night.

This time we celebrated Groundhog day. I featured some songs that signal Spring &/or Winter. We heard songs from artists like the Avett Brothers, Ondara, Jolie Holland and Willie Nelson. The ever prolific Charley Crockett has a  brand new album on the way, we checked out the brand new single!

On this USofA I'll featured a few tunes from Lucinda Williams. This legendary singer/songwriter turns 72 on January 26th. I will also feature a couple of covers by local artists like Trampled By Turtles and Pam Linton, and I have a new song from the late Kinky Friedman. He finished an album before he passed away last year. 

One of Bob Dylan’s most legendary albums, “Blood on the Tracks” was released on January 20th, 1975. The album, which was record at Sound 80 Studio here in the Twin Cities is turning 50!
