Sunday morning on Radio Heartland on The Current, we’ll honor the life of Robbie Robertson by listening to some music from his catalogue with The Band. We also have new tunes from Eliza Gilkyson, the Clements Brothers, Jobi Riccio and father-daughter duo Bob and Sarah Amos. We’ll also celebrate the birthdays of Rodney Crowell, Jimmy Webb and the late Peter Ostroushko.
