Eddie said, "Thank you, Marty Stuart. Fine rendition there of 'The Wall'." Eddie promoted Connie's CD boxed set Just For What I Am." After a commercial break, Marty said, "Now Apostle, here it is. We're still here, right? All right. I'm proud to tell ya that this broadcast is sponsored by the great state of Mississippi. Also proud to tell ya that Mississippi's regarded as the birthplace of America's music. Tl celebrate that, you'll find a Blues and Country Music Trail with a combined number of almost 200 historical stops that run throughout the Magnolia state. Many famous names and places have been recognized with this honor. The name Howlin' Wolf is synonymous with the blues. He was a son of the pine belt region and his Blues Trail marker stands in West Point, Mississippi. Mr. Howlin' Wolf indeed mesmerized the world with his brand of 'Smokestack Lightnin'." Now, 98 miles down the road from West Point is the Emerald city of Meridian, Mississippi. Meridian is a town that knows all about trains and the pyro smokestack lightin' oh have mercy, yes it does, Apostle. And in keepin' with the city's railroad history, people make their way to Meridian from all over the world on the first weekend in November to attend the Soule Steam Festival and Rail Fest. If you're like me and you love trains, the mystic of the rails, and Jimmie Rodgers songs served up alongside of some world class southern hospitality, I invite you to be a part of this great Mississippi event. So how 'bout a hand for Meridian, Howlin' Wolf and his trail marker, and the Soule Live Steam Festival. And how about a hand, Charlie McCoy glad you're with us, for the Tennessee Slicker, the ole Sultan of Goodlettsville, Pig there he is ... Leroy Troy. How 'bout a hand for Leroy."
After a commercial break, Eddie promoted Nashville, Volume 1: Tear The Woodpile Down. Eddie said, "And now back to Marty Stuart and Freddie Hart." Marty said, "And how 'bout a hand for Mr. Eddie Stubbs, everybody. And how 'bout a hand for Miss Dawn Sears to sing along with us on this song. Freddie, it is an honor to have you on our show. Thank you so much." Freddie said, "It's been a blessing, my friend." Marty said, "It's a blessing to have you. Hey, 'Easy Lovin'. I wanna tell you somethin'. People always told the story about seein' Hank Williams on the Grand Ole Opry encore seven or nine times, varies. But when I was a kid, I was workin' in Lester Flatt's band and 'Easy Lovin' was out, and I watched the audience call you back seven times one Saturday night. Isn't that somethin'? That's amazing." Freddie said, "I tell ya, everybody's been a real treasure to me. They really have Everybody's opened their hearts and arms to me. They really have and all I can do is be thankful and I feel so blessed. I really do." Marty said, "Well, would you bless us with 'Easy Lovin' ' right now?" Freddie said, "I'll do that."
