This week on “Homespun”, we re-visited some sides from Hazel Dickens, John Hartford, The Newgrass Revival, and the Seldom Scene. We also got some Western Swing in with Jimmie Widener's King label recordings and from Columbia, Little Jimmy Dickens, plus we remembered singer/songwriter Guy Clark's passing 3 years on.
 

Tom Ball is the host of 'Homespun' on WCMU, and is also a marketing representative for the station. He is responsible for securing program sponsorships for both WCMU Public Radio and WCMU Public Television.
