We’ve got lots of new music and lots of tasty cover versions today (and some that fall into both categories). The new Shane Nicholson album had me climbing through the Nicholson/Chambers family tree which sent us off in various directions. We also took a trip to Austin, TX to visit the KGSR Broadcasts archive, and paid tribute to John Prine, who returns to town in May, and Willie P Bennett, who left us four years ago this past week.

Today we’re joined by a couple of very special guests, as Christina Martin and Dale Murray drop in to chat, play some songs, and even program the second half of the show. Plus, we get to be the first to play Dale’s exceptional new album, Dream Mountain Dream. This was indeed, one come true.
