Route 650: Americana Music Stream


Our old friend WSM 650 AM Nashville now has a second music stream, Route 650, and it is very good.  Less... today's country, more of what country music was prior to 1960 and where that has branched off into newer music that's generically called "Americana" these days.  Think string bands, backwoods barroom rockers, heartfelt acoustic music – on the edge of country music, but not stereotypically country music.  Here, read WSM's description, it's better than I can manage.  And give it a try.
Now if they'd also broadcast on shortwave, it'd be just about perfect.  Imagine listening to this music around a campfire in the middle of nowhere.  That would be something.
