Sunday Supper: 12/08/19

This week's "Sunday Supper" celebrates the 70th birthday of  a great American songwriter, Tom Waits. I'll rely on a posse of female artists, including Rosanne Cash, Maura O'Connell, Nanci Griffith, and Diana Krall, to cover his distinctive songs.

I'll also pay attention to a couple of younger songwriters, Sawyer Fredericks and Matt Harlan, and take inspiration from Carol Crittenden, Ana Egge, Ben Harper, and Holiday Cheer for WFUV headliner Mavis Staples.

The piano has been drinking, not me, Sunday from 5-6 p.m. EST at 90.7 FM and wfuv.org, and on-demand in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app, and via any reasonably smart speaker.
