We're going to take a step away from vintage releases in our first episode of 2016 and look back at last year's Americana releases, focusing on tributes and covers from some of the very best performers of the time. We'll hear from Happy Traum, Jorma Kaukonen, Robert Earl Keen Jr., the Alvin Brothers, Bob Dylan, Jonathan Edwards and many others as the cover music from the past century. While most are those of tradition, we'll also hear covers of Stephen Foster, Carter Family, and Woody Guthrie for good measure. Tribute albums include Bob Dylan's Shadows in the Night and Asleep at the Wheel's "Still The King" Bob Wills tribute. Lots of territory to cover so I hope you'll join in!
