In this episode USofA, I featured a couple of tunes from Lucinda Williams, as she is now eligible for the early bird special, she just turned 65.

We'll also hear a couple from First Aid Kit's new album. They are playing the Palace on Tuesday night. We are streaming the show at www.thecurrent.org, and on Youtube!
