Today we start with two american singer-songwriters: Gurf Morlix and Steve Gunn. We also end with two ladies with the same first name: Mary Bragg from Nashville and Mary-Elaine Jenkins from New York City. Right in the middle, we check out the new tunes from the legendary Meat Puppets and the Memphis supergroup Motel Mirrors.
