Folk Alley Radio Show #260521
(audio coming soon)
This week on Folk Alley, join Cindy Howes for a show inspired by the recent New York Times article, ‘The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters,’ spotlighting artists we agree on—Lucinda Williams, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, etc—plus some clear snubs like Greg Brown, Mary Gauthier, John Gorka, and Lori McKenna.
In hour two, enjoy new music from Kacey Musgraves, Tanasi, Devish with Sister Sadie, Karine Polwart and Pippa Murphy, Rénee Fleming & Béla Fleck with Aoife O’Donovan, and Lambchop, along with favorites from Jeffrey Foucault, Leo Kottke, Kate Wolf, and more.
