What this episode covers
Last month's Coachella music festival saw the buzz surrounding the Avett Brothers grow even louder -- quite a feat, given the fact there's nothing remotely hipstery about their blend of blues, bluegrass and Southern gospel. Hear what all the fuss is about on "Paranoia in B Minor," off their sixth record Emotionalism, which is out this week. Another country outsider, Bruce Robison, is best-known for writing songs for the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, and George Strait, which is why his new E.P. sounds like a collection of songs that haven't hit number one yet. Critical favorites Rufus Wainwright and Wilco return with two solid releases -- and you can get a taste of both in this week's podcast. Lastly, we feature a song you have to hear to beleive: The Puppini Sisters sweet, 1940's-style, Andrews Sisters-esque take on The Smith's "Panic" -- a must-have single for your next mix.
