Our Song of the Week comes from Darlingside, who is described by NPR as “exquisitely arranged, literary-minded, baroque folk-pop.” Their combination of rich harmonies with electronic elements, banjo, mandolin, violin and cello makes for an inventive sound that is reminiscent of Crosby, Stills and Nash and Simon & Garfunkel, with a decidedly modern approach.
Our Song of the Week is Darlingside’s performance of “Ocean Bed,” which appeared on their 2020 album Fish Pond Fish.
Hear the entire set from Darlingside, plus live performances by Altan, Royal Wood, Rachael Sage, and Dear Darling on this week’s episode of Mountain Stage with host Kathy Mattea.

Our Song of the Week comes from The Critton Hollow String Band, a band that has been performing traditional American music to audiences around the world since 1975. The trio stopped by Mountain Stage during their 50th anniversary and performed a handful of songs, including "A Better Life to Find," which is our Song of the Week. The song features an old melody and a traditional refrain, with lyrics updated by the group's Joe Herrmann.
Our Song of the Week comes from singer-songwriter and guitarist Joy Clark. “Tell It To The Wind” was written in a moment of gratitude while Clark was on tour in Waterford, Mississippi at Foxfire Ranch.
On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, we revisit the first of two 41st anniversary shows, which were recorded at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, West Virginia in December 2024. Guest host and CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Conor Knighton welcomes Stephen Kellogg, Jill Sobule, Mindy Smith, Caleb Caudle & The Sweet Critters, and The David Mayfield Parade.
