Arlo McKinley joins host Stephen Kallao

Die Midwestern is the name of Arlo McKinley’s latest album. It includes songs that impressed the late John Prine so much that the songwriting hero signed McKinley to his record label. Today, we’ll hear him tell the story of performing for Prine, and he plays a live set. Then in the second hour, Latin Roots correspondent Byron Gonzalez spins tunes from the Venezuelan-American musician who he listened to more than any other artist last year.
