Greetings,

Tonight, I’ll be playing new music from Danny Barnes and Levon Helms’ contribution to The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams. My interview guest will be Arty Hill! Can’t wait.

Tonght’s Dirty Laundry: Session #4 of Songwritober highlights the work of Harlan Howard, a gentleman once (and perhaps for always) considered the dean of country music songwriters and the person frequently credited with the “three chords and the truth” description of country songwriting. So, yes, you’ll hear Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings on tonight’s episode, but — thanks to Howard’s wide-ranging appeal — you’ll also hear Mavis Staples, James Carr, Allen Toussaint, and Candi Staton.

As usual, local listeners can tune into WCOM 103.5 FM and everyone else can tune into the WCOM netcast.

Notes: So maybe “Many Rivers to Cross” isn’t technically a gospel song, but it sure *sounds* like one, and I subscribe to the broad definition of the term “gospel.” Plus, I immediately think of “Many Rivers to Cross” whenever I listen to Levon Helm’s take on the Buddy & Julie Miller song “Wide River to Cross.”

Because the new broadcast studio is within spitting distance of the railroad tracks that inspired Elizabeth Cotten to write “Freight Train Boogie” I’ve dubbed our new studio The Elizabeth Cotten Memorial Studio
