Wall Street Journal: Honest, Unfettered Americana

Justin gets a brief mention in today's Wall Street Journal.  Writer Jim Fusilli reports on what is Americana, and last week's Americana Music Association's Awards show. It's a very good article, and it includes a audio stream of "Mama's Eyes". You can find the article here
