We listened to a track from what is likely Glen Campbell's final album. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Campbell is on what is likely his last tour. The album and song I featured is called, "Ghost on the Canvas." The song was written by Paul Westerberg and appeared on his PW and The Ghost Gloves Cat Wing Joy Boys album in 2009.

Dolly Parton is our neighborhood for a sold out show at Mystic Lake on Wednesday. What a great reason to feature a couple of Dolly classic's on the U.S.of A.!

I also featured a track from Steve Earle, fresh off his appearance at the Pantages last night! (U2 wasn't the only show in town) I also gave a spin to new songs from Cody Beebe and the Crooks, Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three and Jeff Bridges.
