More Americana, less fluff. This week’s show is full of new music including tracks from Chuck Prophet, Eliza Thorn, Gillian Welch and a lineup you won’t want to miss. We’ll also hear classic tracks from some performers who’ve proven their mettle; from the late Warren Zevon to Little Feat, Bob Dylan and Alison Krauss. We’ll also be sharing yet another track from Johnny Blue Skies’ new album and, if there’s time, we’ll run a new track from Charley Crockett’s new album “Visions of Dallas”. So much great music rolls out this time of year that we’re even more pressed for time than usual. But that won’t stop our full court press. Tune in for another delightful run of Americana sounds from the studios of KOWS-LP, where the little Occidental antenna keeps transmitting and the stream stays alive worldwide on kowsfm.com/listen.

Last week’s (Episode 467) show and playlist:
We’ve got three more tracks from Johnny Blue Skies (Sturgill Simpson) as promised in this morning’s Blue Moon escapade. We’ll also be share a couple new tracks from a new album, just released last week, from one of our favorite performers: Jake Xerxes Fussell. That’s certainly not all there is in store for new releases: The Dip, Jake Neuman & The Jaybirds, and Johnny Cash are also featured. Vintage Americana will be filling out the playlists with some favorites from Steve Goodman, Jason Isbell, Robert Earl Keen and First Aid Kit. The dog days of summer are approaching although some around these parts would argue that they’ve already arrived. Drop in Thursday morning or the early morning hours of Saturday for another delightful run of Americana sounds from the studios of KOWS-LP, Occidental…where the redwoods lead us to the Pacific, from the Bohemian Highway to Coleman Valley Road.
