Sunday morning on Radio Heartland on The Current, it is one of the best days to celebrate some musical birthdays. We’ll tilt a glass to Jerry Jeff Walker, Tim O’Brien, Patty Griffin and Ray Benson…who were born this day. We also have new tracks from Them Coulee Boys, Kris Delmhorst, I’m With Her and Dead Man Winter.
