We're just a little over two weeks away from our next trip to The Birthplace of Country Music, Bristol, TN/VA. Our radio listeners can relive our last visit this weekend as we present an encore episode of last year's program featuring The Robert Cray Band with songs from his latest, This Time. You'll also hear the world renowned Texas troubadour troupe The Flatlanders, Australian alt-country darling Kasey Chambers & Shane Nichols, Robin & Linda Williams and old-time banjo man Riley Baugus.

Check out our "Backstage at Mountain Stage" interview with Robert Cray from our YouTube Channel below, and be sure to watch our conversation with Kasey Chambers & Shane Nichols there as well.

We've also got a track by The Flatlanders as a preview for our Song of the Week; the Texas trio of troubadours sing Joe Ely's "Homeland Refugee," from their 2009 CD "Hills & Valleys."

If you'd like to join us for this year's trip to the Paramount Center for the Arts on historic State Street in Bristol, you can get tickets ONLINE, by phone at 423.274.8920 or by stopping by the box office. Our guests will be Doc Watson, David Holt, Justin Townes Earle, Laura Boosinger and Bob Livingston.
