Since Sunday is Mother’s Day, it’s only right (and necessary) to dedicate the hour to our moms. We’ll have tunes from Madeleine Peyroux, Paul Simon, Loretta Lynn, Rodney Crowell, Lucy Kalansky and even new local music from The Twins of Franklin. Plus, we’ll hear from the former couple Suzzy Roche and Loudon Wainwright III, and their daughter Lucy Wainwright Roche.
