New & Old Morning Trains and John Henry

This program features great new music as well as some old favorites, starting with songs for the morning followed by songs about morning trains, the legend of steel driving man John Henry, some hot guitar flatpicking, and songs from new releases by artists new to me.

Featured artists include old favorites David Bromberg, Kate Wolf, Nick Drake, Cat Stevens, Eric Bibb, Norman Blake, a duet with Beppe Gambetta &Tim O’Brien, Laurie Lewis, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Keb Mo.

New artists include banjo great Benny Bleu, Oregon duo Paper Wings, Coloradan naturalist Natalie Spears, and Massachusetts teacher turned singer songwriter Erin Ash Sullivan.
