We’ll preview the approaching holiday with some Thanksgiving-related (sort of) songs by Kris Kristofferson, The Highwomen, Bob Dylan, Trout Steak Revival and more. We also have new sounds from Willie Nelson; the Tucson, Arizona-based duo Grams and Kreiger; former Tommy TuTone anchor Jim Keller; Eric Bibb; and the string band Twisted Pine. And we’ll help Randy Newman celebrate his 81st birthday Sunday.
