Today we pay tribute to Blaze Foley & Gurf Morlix, as well as visits with Greg Brown and the Thompson family. For hour 2, it’s a Johnny Cash Birthday Bash, as The Man in Black would have turned 80 today, and that’s reason enough to celebrate his (ever)lasting musical legacy.

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.
