Synopsis

Three hours of great music from Mark Lamarr's extensive record collection, plus a great session from one of Austin Texas' finest musicians - Dale Watson. Dale Watson is described by many as an alternative country music performer, but rebelling from such labels Dale describes his music as "Ameripolitan" which he defines as original music with 'prominent' roots influence.
