Many folk and roots artists write songs about real historical events, and in this hour Katie plays several such ‘story songs’ – about a mining disaster in Victoria, a racially motivated massacre in Florida, ‘missing persons’ notices at a New York bus depot, and a mighty and courageous convict woman. There are also tracks from the excellent new albums by Bobby Alu, Kacey Musgraves, Charm of Finches and Benny Elder. Here is the playlist:
- Would It Feel Nice – Bobby Alu
- Lonely Millionaire – Kacey Musgraves
- This Beating Heart – Floyd Thursby
- Leave It All Behind – Charm of Finches
- Rosewood – Eric Bibb
- In the Sweet By and By – Montgomery Church
- Buffalo – Tom Harrison
- Seventeen (Acoustic) – Benny Elder
- Mary Bryant – Broken Creek
