Eilen Jewell plus Jenny Owen Youngs

Episode 264: One might imagine that after 17 years singing country music and releasing ten albums, an artist would have shared all of her secrets with her audience, but Eilen Jewell says only in the aftermath of 2020 and a bunch of disruptive change and loss well beyond the reach of the pandemic, that she was ready to get real in ways she never had before. The result is Get Behind The Wheel, a cracking country blues album that extends the winning streak of this veteran artist, who made her way from her home town of Boise, ID to the top of the Boston scene and back home again. Also in the hour, the crafty roots pop of professional songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs.
