The new fall season of Mountain Stage begins this Friday with the premiere broadcast of episode 1,013. Guest host Larry Groce welcomes Wilco back to the show for their fourth appearance since 1996, along with blues man Guy Davis, alt-folk singer and songwriter Peter Case, and Grammy Nominated songwriter and producer Garrison Starr. Thanks to our partners at WOUB Public Media and at Ohio University Arts, we had a sold-out crowd gathered at the Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium in Athens, Ohio.
Our Song of the Week comes from pioneering alt-rock sextet, Wilco. Formed in the mid-’90s, the influential Chicago-based band evolved into the standard-bearers for experimental rock over the past two decades. With their 12th studio album Cruel Country, they lean back into their roots for what the band itself labels as a “country album,” with their innovation and influences all on display.
The album’s title track, “Cruel Country,” is our Song of the Week.
Join us on the radio starting Friday, Sept. 8 to hear the entire set from Wilco, plus live performances from Peter Case, Guy Davis, and Garrison Starr.
