Playlists: Womenfolk (July 5-19, 2009)

Here are playlists from the last three editions of Womenfolk. Today we played new music, dug out some old favorites and played lots of your requests.  We also celebrated Signature Sounds' 15th Anniversary (scroll down to read about Matt's take on the big celebrations at the Green River Festival) and honored the life and music of Dave Carter, who died seven years ago today. Last week we welcomed Austin, TX songwriter Carrie Elkin into the studio, and the week before was our annual bird-themed special "I'll Fly Away."

If you'd like to hear these recent shows, you can always hear them on the KFAI archives here.
