Summary

Greg Vandy is the host of The Roadhouse, KEXP’s Sunday morning roots and American music show. He talks with Isabel Khalili about how the show is more about a feeling than a genre, and how he uses music to draw connections between the past and present. Then he shares three songs he’s been loving lately, from 60’s girl group harmonies to a soulful expression of joy, plus one lesser known track from the inventor of the power chord.

Lastly, we hear from KEXP Music Director Chris Sanley about a powerful indie collaboration recorded at Abbey Road Studios.

Songs featured:

The Lostines - “A Tear”
Scott Ballew - “True Love Can’t Surf”
Allison Russell - “The Returner”
Link Wray - “From Tulsa To North Carolina”
IAN SWEET & Porridge Radio - "Everyone's A Superstar"
