A special American history music mix, rebroadcast from July 8, 2017. American history is told through song, from Patti Smith's "Constantine's Dream," to The Magnetic Fields' "Have You Seen It In the Snow." There are contributions from Catskill legends such as Brian Dewan and Barbara Moncure, and songs about the area such as Leon Russell's "Rip Van Winkle." There are songs from current artists such as Vampire Weekend and the "Hamilton" soundtrack, older tracks from Johnny Horton and Public Enemy. Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, R.E.M., and Horton contribute multiple songs to the five-hour chronological survey through American history. Curated by Tom Roe.
