This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage is a Five Favorites edition featuring a collection of favorite sets from 2005, chosen by our Executive Producer, Adam Harris.

On this episode, Harris walks us through some of the most memorable sets and performances from his first season with Mountain Stage, twenty short years ago. You’ll hear live performances by The Del McCoury Band, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Lizz Wright, Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith, Odetta, Amos Lee, Ben Lee, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and Gatemouth Brown.

Our Mountain Stage Song of the Week is “All Aboard,” by The Del McCoury Band. This classic train song was originally written by Eugene Patrick Ellsworth, Charles Edward Stefl, and Bradley Ross Rodgers, and has become one of Del McCoury’s most popular tracks.
