This week’s premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded on the campus of West Virginia University at the Canady Creative Arts Center in Morgantown, WV. On this episode, guest host David Mayfield welcomes Eric Bibb, Moira Smiley & The Rhizome Quartet, Twisted Pine, The McCrary Sisters, and Yasmin Williams.
Our Song of the Week comes from the versatile singer, composer, lyricist, and multi-instrumentalist Moira Smiley & The Rhizome Quartet. “Mourning Dove” is co-written by Moira and her partner Edgar, reflecting on the sometimes mournful and isolating ups and downs of love, loss, and growth that partnerships endure. This live recording features a quintet, including Edwin Huizinga, Sophia DeLong, Leah Vey, Jaqueline Todd, and Virginia Groce.
Tune in to one of these NPR stations starting Friday, May 16 to hear this song, plus more from blues troubadour and songwriter Eric Bibb, pop/bluegrass/folk quartet Twisted Pine, gospel group The McCrary Sisters, and finger-style guitarist Yasmin Williams.
