On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes Joe Pug, Jobi Riccio, Carrie Newcomer, Curtis McMurtry, and The Local Honeys. This episode was recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, WV.
Our Song of the Week comes from singer, songwriter, poet, and Grammy winner Carrie Newcomer. She performs “Take More Time, Cover Less Ground” from her 2023 album, A Great Wild Mercy. In the liner note for this song, Carrie states that her inspiration came from a quote from the contemplative Trappist monk, Thomas Merton, who lived in Kentucky. “We live busy lives,” Newcomer said introducing the song, “This song is really about loving all the motion of my life, and at the same time really loving when I take a little more time and cover a little less ground.”
Hear Carrie Newcomer’s full set starting this Friday, June 20 on one of these affiliate stations. Plus, hear live performances by singer-songwriter Joe Pug, Colorado-raised Americana artist Jobi Riccio, indie-folk artist Curtis McMurtry, and Kentucky folk duo The Local Honeys.
