FTB #144 is a “one shot” show where we catch up on some of the Americana and Roots music releases from 2011 that never made it on previous shows for some reason.  Heading into the new year with lots of new stuff lined up already means I’m not likely to get back to any of these again artists soon although they are all quite good.  Thus, the “one shot” designation.  Please click the artist’s name to find out more about them and the song title for online CD or download ordering.  Here’s the iTunes link to subscribe to the FTB podcasts.  Here’s the direct link to listen now!  Here is the RSS feed: http://ftbpodcasts.libsyn.com/rss.
