This week's radio broadcast features Memphis rockers Lucero who join us for the first time. Also on board are New-Grass pioneer Sam Bush and his fine band, Heartland rockers The Bottle Rockets make their sixth appearance, and two new groups - Central Virginia's Sons of Bill and WV born and raised band Bud Carroll & the Southern Souls.

Check out the playlist and get a preview on our Song of the Week Page, where we've highlighted the softer side of Lucero with a performance of the closing track from their acclaimed 1372 Overton Park, "Mom."

Find a station in your area and tell some friends when to tune in. As always, thank you for listening to Mountain Stage, and we hope you'll go out and see some live music wherever you are, just as soon as you can.

We've got lots of fresh material all over the Internet for your listening (and viewing) pleasure.

Starting at NPR Music we've got an extended set by Robert Earl Keen from our Valentine's Day, 2010 show. Still to come later this week are sets from Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Sweetback Sisters, Danny Barnes and Darrell Scott. Remember, new sets go up each weekday, so keep checking back.

You can also subscribe to the Mountain Stage Podcast on iTunes and Feedburner, where we put up the ENTIRE show, including songs that might not have been heard on the radio, for you to download and take on the go.
