A song swap between three genre-crossing singer/songwriter/guitarists, two from Texas and one from Mississippi. Grammy Award winner Joe Ely, a founding member of the Lone Star State super group, The Flatlanders, has spent more weeks at the top of the Americana charts than any other artist and is widely considered to be a godfather of the Americana music movement. Ruthie Foster, Grammy-nominated for her last two albums, is also a five-time Blues Music Award winner and won the 2013 Austin Music Award for Best Female Vocalist. Paul Thorn, of Tupelo, is such a fine storyteller he has been called 'the Mark Twain of Americana’ and, indeed, his last album went to #1 on the Americana charts. All three are known for engaging audiences with their heartfelt performances.
