On the show this week, I feature the soulful songs and singing of Doug Wamble, and the new collection celebrating the ‘prairie mystic’ Carrie Newcomer. I’ll also play songs from new discs by Mara Levine, Eagle McCall, and the Squirrel Hillbillies, to name just a few. Join me this Saturday at 8pm for Fresh Folk on Utah Public Radio.
