NEWS: It's great to reconnect with Edwin McCain this week on Acoustic Café! Edwin was one of our very first guests on the show back in 1995, and we haven't seen him since 2003. This week, Edwin discusses his 2011 album "Mercy Bound", working with Maia Sharp who produced the album and co-wrote many of the songs, and his interesting independent career. Also this week, in-studio performances from Buddy Miller, Junip, and a fond farewell to Levon Helm with archived performances from The Band recorded in our studio in 1996!
