Marshall Chapman, Bobby Bare, Don Henry, Mary Gauthier and Rodney Crowell.

In the meantime, we’re re-mixing and re-introducing historic shows and sets in a look-back format called Roots Rewind. This is the first of those shows. In this case we took a great single show from August 2011 and added new intros/outros for context. Promos are refreshed as well.

Marshall Chapman anchors the show as curator and guest interviewer. She wrote “They Came To Nashville” about major artists arrival stories, and we capture those in word and song. This episode features also Bobby Bare, Don Henry, Mary Gauthier and Rodney Crowell.

Marshall Chapman is an American singer-songwriter-author who was born and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina. To date she has released thirteen critically acclaimed albums. Her latest, Blaze of Glory, was hailed a masterpiece. (Click here for NPR interview.)
