This week I’ve got new local sounds from Collapsing Stars and Samuel Wilbur, plus new music from Courtney Marie Andrews, John Fullbright, and Cassandra Lewis.

And something old but something new: I’ve got a cut off the upcoming release, Willie Nelson: Live at Budokan, recorded live in Japan in 1984. That record will be released exclusively on vinyl at indie record stores starting on Record Store Day Black Friday, coming up on November 25.
