This week on Listen Up!, you will hear some old country, murder ballads, twang of all sorts, cowpunks, cosmic Americana, and perhaps drunken rockabilly and more. Legend, romance, friendship and courage. A mother-load of remembrance
Listen Up!: Where the cool, the classic, the corny and even the cringe-worthy collide.
Follow the Listen Up! Blog and/or “like” Facebook. Both serve as an addendum and a means to interact with the program.
