The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Podcast show

Summary: MINTON SPARKS fuses music, poetry, and her intoxicating gift for storytelling to paint word pictures of the rural South that put you square in the middle of the people and the places she knows like the back of her hand. She delivers words in beelines of bluesy rhythm and worries the hooks-and there are hooks-backed solely by the nimble acoustic guitar work of John Jackson, who’s perhaps best known for having played with Bob Dylan. Her latest album is 'Gold Digger', captures her and Jackson performing 11 memorable story-songs. http://www.mintonsparks.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo839EVCfrg DALE WATSON is a country music maverick, a true outlaw carrying on where Waylon Jennings left off.
