United States of Americana: Lucinda and fishin' songs!

This time I featured a couple from Lucinda Williams, including the title track from her latest. "Blessed," a thoughtful tune with a very majestic jam at the end which juxtaposed nicely into Wilco's "Impossible Germany." Lucinda performs in Rochester at the Mayo Civic Center Presentation Hall on Wednesday.

Walleye is on my mind! I featured a few tunes for the fishing opener this weekend. I also gave a spin to Roger McGuinn. He plays this week at the Hopkins Center For the Arts on Tuesday.

We also heard new music from Eric Hanke, Vandaveer and my band of the moment, Mount Moriah.
