Sara Watkins "Long Hot Summer Days"

,

Sara Watkins We were talking before about how young some of the folks who visited with us in Nashville were. Sara, a veteran and virtuoso to be sure, also looks like she is still fifteen! At twenty seven, she spent nearly two decades as a member of acclaimed trio Nickel Creek. Her self-titled debut album was produced by John Paul Jones (yes, of Zep fame) and came out earlier this year. It features amazing backing players and old friends, including Gillian Welch and Dave Rawling, Benmont Tench, Pete Thomas, Tim O'Brien, Chris Eldridge, Ronnie McCoury, and her Nickel Creek band mates.

We had Sara on the bus, and she made time stand still.

JD Souther "I'll Be Here At Closing Time"

,
JD Souther The bus was three days of crazy at the Americana Festival & Conference. So many people coming through, newcomers, perennials, and even legends. After all, we are now talking about the pen that yielded "Best Of My Love," "New Kid In Town," "You're Only Lonely"- all staples of radio play for over a quarter of a century.

JD Souther has put out his first studio album in 25 years "If The World Was You," which will be followed October 13th with the release of the live CD "Rain."

We were honored to have him!
