Chris Stuart & Backcountry on Bluegrasscountry.org
Bob Webster at BluegrassCountry.org had a chance to talk with Chris Stuart and Janet Beazley before their performance at Luckett’s Schoolhouse last month. That interview is being aired this week on WAMU and online at BluegrassCountry.org.
Aspiring songwriters should take note at Chris describes the thought process he uses to write songs like Dear Friends & Gentle Hearts, Julia Belle, and Mojave River. There is also a preview of the title cut from Chris’ upcoming release, The old Road to Jerusalem. The song was written by Chris and is performed by Eric Uglum & Sons, Austin and Christian Ward.
I’m listening to the show online as I type, but if you miss it today it will air everyday this week. Here’s the schedule:
- Monday, November 27 – 10:00 a.m.
- Tuesday, November 28 – 9:00 p.m.
- Wednesday, November 29 – 7:00 a.m.
- Thursday, November 30 – 5:55 a.m.
- Friday, December 1 – 11:00 p.m.
- Saturday, December 2 – 8:00 p.m.
