Did not expect to meet 700 WLW sports host Lance McCallister at the WDVX Blue Plate Special today. It’s a small (radio) world after all.

I got to hang out with the Wood Brothers today during the WDVX Fall Fund Drive. Thanks to WDVX’s Paul West for the pics.

Big day at WDVX!!! Today is our 28th birthday, and we’re celebrating with a bluegrass b-day party at the Bijou. I’ll be on the air after to kick off the WDVX Fall Fund Drive until around midnight. Gonna be a good one.

WDVX Fall Fund Drive officially starts Thursday. Get your gear now at wdvx.com/support

Wednesday night on WDVX... after Tennessee Shines... it's a late night edition of The Americana Pulse. Hear everything from Sam Cooke to Scott Miller... and John Hartford to Professor Longhair.

New Adventures in Hi-Fi My favorite non-I.R.S. R.E.M. album, and it doesn't get the same love as the other albums of the 90's to that point. "E-Bow the Letter" is an all timer.

Looking for that one specific piece of Halloween candy that he knows someone put in his bag, and that one his parents absolutely did not steal…

Let’s play 18

Happy Halloween from my back patio…

Reissue (20th Anniversary) of a cool Matt Pond PA album out today. This song seems appropriate to share today. open.spotify.com/track/4rTkT3...

Still remember where I was when I saw the MTV News report. I was in my dorm room at Morehead State, getting ready to go out to a haunted trail with some friends. I ended up just sitting on my bed for about 30 minutes or so before finally moving again. I remember it feeling like a gut punch.

Had a brief technical hiccup… but the show is now on the air and steaming on the WDVX website.

On the air tonight at 7:00 on WDVX. Come for the new Brandi Carlile songs at the beginning... stay for the spooky R.E.M. tunes at the end. Lots of good stuff in between... including interviews and exclusive live performances from Hayes Carll & Chuck Prophet.

WDVX will air a new song from Lucinda Williams today at 5:00 Eastern. "The World's Gone Wrong" is officially released later this week, but you can hear it this afternoon on WDVX.

Great album

The dog has cashed out on this game.

Now it’s Access Hollywood instead of the bottom of the 15th.

And my local Fox in Knoxville just stopped airing Game 3 of the World Series in the middle of the 12th inning to show the local 10:00 news… at 12:45AM.

This is what's happening on The Americana Pulse this week... New Brandi to start, interviews with Hayes Carll & Chuck Prophet, and new tunes from folks like Courtney Marie Andrews & Valerie June. Check it out Wednesday night on WDVX.

Still love this Courtney Marie Andrews song... it's the pedal steel. open.spotify.com/track/2z4kmx...

Sat down to watch the World Series… but MLB Network is showing a documentary on the 1990 Reds. My favorite team ever.

A couple are a bit of a stretch… but I’m closing the show this week with a full set of spooky themed R.E.M. songs.

Happening in a few minutes on WDVX… Robert Finley (x2) Britti Yola Jon Muq Valerie June And that’s just the opening set.

I got to host a rare WDVX Blue Plate Special a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed spending some time with this young band out of the DC area... Night Hawk. Here's one of their tunes that just got posted on the WDVXRadio YouTube channel. youtu.be/oxzr-UyZd4Q?...

Tift Merritt & Presley Haile were two of the artists I most wanted to see at Americanafest this year. I also got to speak to both of them at the festival last month. Hear those conversations… and a few exclusive recordings tonight on The Americana Pulse on WDVX.

The song Guy Clark once told me was his favorite cover version of a song he had written... Slim Pickens - Desperados Waiting For a Train youtu.be/PK1gs-lVwY0?...

This week's Americana Pulse starts at 7:00 on WDVX with 2 new tracks by Robert Finley & a set of Dan Auerbach productions. We'll also feature Americanafest interviews with old friend Tift Merritt & new favorite Presley Haile, share a bunch of new music, & spin everyone from Booker T. to Shaboozey.

Digging into some Auerbach productions as I prepare to feature the new Robert Finley on this week's show. I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoyed this album from Britti last year. Hope y'all didn't sleep on it. open.spotify.com/track/2sKYZ1...

Robby Hecht & Rebecca Porter on today’s WDVX Blue Plate Special… Robby shared a couple new ones with us.

Just rooting for Geno & Castillo now… Closest I’ll get to watching the Reds this deep in a postseason, it seems.

Baseball is perfect. The End.

Find someone who loves you as much as Adam Wainright loves bunting.

Rodney Crowell & Robert Finley are gonna be the interviews on The Americana Pulse this week on WDVX. I recorded 12 really cool conversations at Americanafest earlier this month. Dishing them out in small doses over several weeks on the show.
