Our Song of the Week comes from the incomparable Nellie McKay, whose music incorporates many different styles, from Cabaret and Broadway to American songbook all diffused through the lens of her zany and profound interpretations of life.

Our Song of the Week is McKay’s performance of “No Equality,” which appeared originally on her 2010 album Home Sweet Mobile Home.

Join us on the radio this week for the entire set from Nellie McKay featuring the Mountain Stage Band, and we’ll also be treated to live performances from Martin Sexton, Joseph, Abe Partridge, and Cave Twins.
