Wendy Moten plus Granville Automatic

Episode 146: Wendy Moten is one of Nashville's most versatile and accomplished singers. She's been a solo R&B artist, a jazz singer, a duet partner with Julio Iglesias and a road vocalist with Martina McBride and Vince Gill. But lately she's taken on a storied role, singing lead with Nashville's extraordinary western swing band The Time Jumpers and she's released a new album of classic country covers. How a preacher's daughter from Memphis became a country artist with a meaningful platform is a great story. Also, the duo Granville Automatic brings a powerful sense of history and narrative to their eclectic, catchy songs.
