On this United States of Americana, I featured a couple from Steve Earle. He has a new live album and a couple of show at the Dakota this week. Logan Ledger returns to the Twin Cities for a Turf Club show this week, we'll hear him on the show, I have a new local tune from Emmy Woods & Waylon Jennings was at the top of the charts this time in 1977.
