Shovels and Rope In-Studio Performance

We remember Shel Silverstein & salute the winners at Americana Music Awards.

This time we remember Gram Parsons. He passed away on 9/19/1973

This week, I featured a couple from Shovels and Rope's upcoming album and a track from Amanda Shires' upcoming album. Mike Pengra stops by to share a railroad song by Billy Bragg and Joe Henry.

I featured a bunch of artists playing shows in the next couple weeks on this USofA. Artist like Parker Millsap, Brandi Carlile, Pert Near Sandstone, Dwight Yoakam and more!

More 90's alt-country in this episode. Also new things from The Coal Porters, Dawes, & Lyal Strickland.
