Review of Border Radio: The Big Jukebox in the Sky

The sound of this show makes me think of a mix between A Prairie Home Companion and American Routes - it sounds like a great variety show. Not something heard very often on any radio today. It's nice to hear lots of great music for this hour. This is a music special and not a documentary, but you get a good sense of the importance of border radio and the music from the songs.
