Hard Times and Honky Tonks: Dale Watson, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
The sounds may seem old but the songs are not. This week on
American Routes
we visit with a few musicians who are known for crafting modern country music from old-time inspirations.
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
share with us how they fit "an electric peg into an acoustic hole." Then a conversation with Austin's king of the honky-tonks,
Dale Watson
, who literally wears his musical inspirations on his sleeve.
