Hi everyone! My rain dances are not working! Rain continues to elude us here in southwest Missouri. IMPORTANT NOTE! The Mulberry Tree will air at 8 p.m. CST on its regular day (Sunday) instead of its regular 10 p.m. slot as NPR makes a temporary scheduling change. The Mulberry Tree returns to its regular 10 p.m. CST slot on Sunday, August 12, 2012. Below is a list of musicians who will be featured this Sunday along with my interview with singer-songwriter Melanie and some new music of hers from her recently released CD "Ever Since You Never Heard of Me." Alison Krauss and Union Station Mary Chapin Carpenter Mary Gauthier Jimmy Lafave Chuck Prophet Townes Van Zandt The Wailin’ Jennys Melanie (Safka) - music and interview Beau-Jarred Schekeryk (Melanie's son) Be sure to tune in next Sunday, July 15th for a special tribute to the late Levon Helm, including solo music from Levon and tracks from his years with The Band, you'll also hear my interviews with prominent songwriters, musicians and producers who contributed their thoughts about Levon. FCC regulations prohibit the posting of full playlists prior to airtime, so that is why I am only able to let you know the names of featured musicians in advance. I will try to do for you every week.
