Episode 19-48: Shakey Graves, Part 1

About This Episode

Shakey Graves has been categorized as an Americana
singer/songwriter, thanks to his traditionally rooted songs,
fluent acoustic-guitar picking, and Texas roots. He was named
Best Emerging Artist at the 2015 Americana Music Awards. But that
tag will undoubtedly be dismissed as restrictive and irrelevant
when his radical new album “Can’t Wake Up” is released and
performed for live show audiences.
