Craig reviews key acoustic recordings by Thomm Jutz, Jarrod Walker, Paper Wings, Sierra Hull, Daniel Grindstaff, Ed Snodderly, Jim Hurst and the second collaborative record by Jim Lauderdale and the Po' Ramblin' Boys. All can be heard on The Old Fashioned, airing Saturdays at 9 am and Tuesdays at 8 pm.
