This week, Mountain Stage dips into its 30 year archive of live music to visit a 1999 performance by acclaimed songwriter Randy Newman. Here he plays “Dixie Flyer,” a song host Larry Groce is quick to describe as one of his very favorites: “In three minutes, Newman says so much about American, being an American, and being different in America. And the music that accompanies the lyric is as good as it gets, standing alongside giants like Stephen Foster.”
