This week’s Broadcast of Mountain Stage features alternative rockers Cake, who released their long-awaited new album, “Showroom of Compassion,” earlier this year. The band performs songs from that record, plus a couple of old favorites, on this week’s episode. We’ve got a preview in our Song of the Week with “Mustache Man (Wasted).” Order Cake’s latest via Amazon, visit our playlist for a rundown of the show, and be sure to tell some friends on facebook.

Also on the show, Western Swing revivalists Hot Club of Cowtown, whose instrumental prowess and unreserved energy can’t be beat. Their latest is a tribute to their musical mentor Bob Wills, “What Makes Bob Holler.” Honky-tonk singer and songwriter Hayes Carll joins us with his band and songs from his latest “KMAG YOYO (And Other American Stoies),” and The Old 97’s play a selection of tracks from their new live album “The Grand Theatre Vol. One.”

Here’s Larry Groce’s interview with Old 97’s Rhett Miller “Backstage at Mountain Stage.” Visit our YouTube channel for more interviews, including our chat with John McCrea of Cake and Hayes Carll, and Whitt and Alana of Hot Club of Cowtown.
