Thanks to Mac for so capably filling in! I'm back from 5 days of "70 and sunny," in New Orleans. I did have the jamalaya, but didn't make it to the bayou. None the less; it's good to be back!

I featured a bunch of new stuff this morning. I played new music from Steve Martin, it's better than you might think! Also, heard newbies from J. Mascis, Ha Ha Tonka and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. We heard a great new track from the, "Blessed" album from Lucinda Williams, and we remembered country star Ferlin Huskey, who passed away a couple of days ago.
