Ry Cooder at the Americana Music Honors and Awards show
The Americana Music Association’s Honors and Award show at the Ryman Auditorium is one of our favorite events of the year, and highlights from the September show will be shared with a national audience on a special edition of Austin City Limits that begins airing Nov. 22. Performers include Robert Plant, Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, Rosanne Cash and Flaco Jimenez.
It’s no easy task to distill the best moments of a nearly three-hour event, but the ACL emphasis is on the music and not the awards. Here’s the setlist shared by the Americana Music Association:
- Rosanne Cash – “A Feather’s Not A Bird”
- Parker Millsap – “Truck Stop Gospel”
- Loretta Lynn – “Coal Miner’s Daughter”
- The Milk Carton Kids – “Snake Eyes”
- Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale with the McCrary Sisters – “You Can’t Judge A Book By The Cover”
