This week marks the broadcast of our landmark 1,000th episode of Mountain Stage, and our musical guests are worthy of such a momentous occasion. Slide-guitar master Sonny Landreth and legend of the dobro and lap steel Cindy Cashdollar perform a fiery duo set that should be heard to be believed.
We also welcome back Oklahoma’s Parker Millsap and his band, the venerable Lucy Kaplansky, plus emerging songwriter Caleb Caudle and some witty indie-pop from The Paranoid Style.
Join us on these stations starting Friday, Nov. 11 to hear the entire show.
Our Song of the Week comes from Landreth and Cashdollar, who slide their way through “Prodigal Son,” the title track to Landreth’s 2004 album of the same name.
