Meredith Carson welcomes Texas singer-songwriter Vincent Neil Emerson for a live studio session at KGNU. Visiting Denver while on tour for his newly released album, Emerson talks about his roots in Canton, Texas, his journey from open mics to major stages like the Grand Ole Opry, and the stories behind his songs. He performs selections from his new record, including “Jet Plane,” “Living in the Past,” and “Little Wolf’s Invincible Yellow Medicine Paint,” along with Elizabeth Cotten’s classic folk song “Freight Train.” Emerson also shares insights into his songwriting process, performing solo versus with a band, and working with legendary songwriter and producer Rodney Crowell (Air Date 4/24/26).
