This time I featured a few tunes for Mardi Gras including a couple from that Preservation CD released last year. It's a benefit compilation released to coincide with Mardi Gras. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band band i featured alongside contributors like Merle Haggard and Steve Earle. The project benefits New Orleans historic Preservation Hall and its music outreach program. BTW: The Preservation Hall Jazz band perform at the Guthrie on March 14th!

I also featured tracks from Hayes Carll, The Low Anthem, and Patsy Cline, as we just passed the 48th anniversary of the plane crash that took her life.

below is the audio and playlist for 3/6/11
