Shel Silverstein was an artist and writer of all things. He was a poet & a cartoonist. He wrote everything from short stories, essays, childrens books some some really great songs along the way. Silverstein died of a heart attack in 1999. Country legend Bobby Bare, who sang a few of those Shel Silverstein songs, and his son Bobby JR. are the producers of a new tribute album called, Twistable Turnable Man: A Musical Tribute to the Songs of Shel Silverstein. I'll feature a few tracks from the album.
We'll also hear new track from Mississippi songwriter Paul Thorn, the Icelandic country artist known as Lay Low, plus Dawes & Justin Townes Earle, who will both be performing at Taste of Minnesota on Friday!
