Wednesday, November 21 – Kacey Musgraves

Thursday, November 22 – Ruston Kelly
Ruston Kelly was a teenage figure skater in Michigan before he started writing songs. At the age of 17, he moved to Nashville and began writing songs — eventually co-writing a Tim McGraw song.

He opens up about this time in his life, and plays live on this episode of World Cafe.
