This week on the program we’re going to take a little road trip together across these great United States with some of my favourite regionally specific songs. I’ll take you down to Bakersfield, Tulsa, Detroit City; we’ll sail up the mighty Mississippi and cruise over to the lonestar state somewhere south of Round Rock, Texas.
