On this United States of Americana I’ll feature a handful of brand new things! We’ll hear a couple of new songs from Boy Golden, this Winnipeg artist caught my attention with his excellent storytelling in his songs. The new album is called For Eden. I’ll also play new ones from Sunny Sweeney, Amanda Anne Platt & the Honeycutters, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and Johnny Blue Skies.

I will also feature a song from Linda Ronstadt, who received the National Medal of Honor at the White House 10 years ago. Join me Sunday at 8am for United States of Americana!
