For her fourth appearance on Mountain Stage, the Welsh chanteuse is joined by Portuguese percussionist Pedro Segundo and the legendary bassist Leland Sklar for a performance of “We Give In,” which you can also hear during this week’s broadcast.

This week’s broadcast also features an extended set from “the little orchestra” Pink Martini, as well as performances from heavy-hitting singer Beth Hart and savvy singer-songwriter Don Dixon.
