Bob Harris Country - 16/07/2009

Bob is joined by Austin based honky tonk singer and modern musical outlaw Dale Watson. Describing his style of music as "Ameripolitan'", Dale Watson is firmly ensconced in the authentic classic country of Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash, and far removed from the commercial sounds of today's mainstream country music. His recording career began in 1995 with the album Cheatin' heart attack, since when he's released almost 20 albums including his 2007 album From The Cradle To The Grave which was recorded in Johnny Cash's mountain retreat. His most recent release The Truckin' Sessions: Volume 2 is a follow up to his 1998 album of highway songs. Hear conversation and live tracks from Dale Watson and his Lonestars on tonight's show.
