Nov 17: Backwoods Galaxy

"Kane got these guys together because they were willing to play original songs. Many of the traditional songs that are cover are often so obscure that people think they're our originals. "The history of American music has so many unsung heroes that I want to create that portrait before the image fades", says Kane"
