Perhaps being known best as the dive bar singer in the second season of True Detective, Lera Lynn returns to Mountain Stage with her new album Resistor. The music video for the lead single, “Shape Shifter,” recently debuted on the Wall Street Journal’s blog Speakeasy.

Riding off of a 2016 Grammy Best Bluegrass Album nomination, veteran musicians Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley make their Mountain Stage debut with their forthcoming sophomore album The Country Blues.

This episode of Mountain Stage is scheduled for national distribution via NPR Music later this fall.
