This week’s episode of Mountain Stage is a brand new one, recorded in November featuring Daniel Lanois’ Black Dub, Anais Mitchell, Horse Feathers, Danielle At the Sandwich and Delta Spirit.

Find a radio station in your area to find out when and where to tune in. We’ve posted a preview of the show in our Song of the Week, a performance of the expansive tune “Ring the Alarm” from Black Dub’s self titled debut CD (click to purchase on Amazon).

We can also recommend Lanois memoirs, Soul Mining: A Musical Life or his recent, Grammy nominated production work with Neil Young, “Le Noise.”

This was Lanois’ third appearance on Mountain Stage since 1989, when he also had the amazing Brian Blade playing drums. He sat down with Larry Groce for an interview “Backstage at Mountain Stage,” which we’ve posted below. We also have backstage chats with Anais Mitchell, Justin Ringle of Horse Feathers, and a crossover appearance on our channel by YouTube star Danielle Anderson, a.k.a. Danielle Ate the Sandwich.
