Routes and Branches Play List 05/08/10

Merle Haggard did perform this past Monday at the Hult Center. It was a great show featuring many old classics and a few songs off his new album at the end of his show.
At this point in his life I think the title track of his new album I am What I am describes him the best. Since Sunday is Mother's Day this week I had to close my show with Haggard's Classic Mama Tried.

This week's show also had Gavin Wahl-Stephens and The New Americans in to the station to play a couple of songs live for us including an as yet unrecorded song entitled Overdraft Protection . Wahl-Stephens and The New Americans have a great northwest feel to their mix of Americana/Rock. Gavin's song writing is strong and he is backed up by the excellent musicianship of The New Americans. I'm sure that we will be listening to more of their music in the future.
