Molly Tuttle has a new album out this week called “So Long Little Miss Sunshine,” it’s a different kind of album for Molly. It’s less bluegrass and shows more pop, rock and country influences. We’ll check out some of those new songs and Molly will chime in with some of her thoughts, as well.

Plus, more tunes from Charley Crockett. He just released another new album and plays Surly Festival Field on Saturday!
