Folk Alley Radio Show #251009
This week on Folk Alley, we spend time remembering the late, great John Prine in honor of what would’ve been his 79th birthday on October 10th. Hear tributes to the legend from Carsie Blanton and Todd Snider, duets with Iris DeMent and Dolores Keane, performances of his work from Bonnie Raitt, Nanci Griffith, Steve Goodman, Tyler Childers, Justin Vernon, and Sam Bush, plus more from the man himself.
In Hour Two, we welcome in the spooky season with witchy tunes by Donovan and Stan Rogers, along with new music from John Gorka, Joan Shelley, Le Vent du Nord, faves from Emmylou Harris, Leonard Cohen, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss & Robert Plant, and a Basic Folk interview excerpt with Kathleen Edwards and Lizzie No.
