Trail Listening Post

Before taking the stage at the Zootown Arts Community Center, acclaimed singer-songwriter James McMurtry and fellow Texas singer-songwriter BettySoo stopped by the Trail 103.3 studio for an intimate conversation and live performance. They talk with Mike Smith about life on the road, a packed international touring schedule, songwriting, unique instruments, and the musicians who have influenced and collaborated with them over the years.
The duo also performs several stunning songs live in the studio, including McMurtry's Americana Award-nominated "Canola Fields," BettySoo's "Black Curtains," and a moving rendition of Woody Guthrie's timeless classic "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)." It's a thoughtful conversation filled with humor, stories from the road, and unforgettable performances from two of Americana's finest songwriters.
