Before we start our song discussion, we're a bit giddy that this year's charity concert for Cumberland Height's John Hiatt Fund for Adolescent Recovery is a star-studded tribute to John. And, your hosts will be meeting up in Nashville to see this show a the famous Ryman Auditorium. Please join us, or give what you can to this wonderful cause. (John's birthday on August 20th is a great day to do so.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
