We'll listen to great new tracks from the prolific Charley Crockett (pictured), The Slocan Ramblers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Black Keys, Zoe Cummins & Gabe Lee. And celebrate birthdays coming up this week with tracks from legendary guitarist Danny Gatton and Squeeze's lead singer Glen Tilbrook.

But this week we'll really concentrate on classic roots rock tracks & feature some of the bands that jumpstarted alternative country & roots rock in the 80's & 90's, like The Georgia Satellites, Jason & the Scorchers, Uncle Tupelo, The Bottle Rockets, The Waco Brothers and The Gourds.
