On this week's Acoustic Highway, we'll welcome November with music from Tret Fure and her anthem " Roses in November." Also, music from the duo Iron and Wine, Kasey Musgraves, Billy Bragg, and a classic track from Gordon Lightfoot. And we'll hear from Linda Ronstadt from her Heart is Like a Wheel album. Selena Gomez has been picked to star as Ronstadt in an upcoming movie about her life. The days are short, and the nights are long- so settle in for a Sunday evening of wonderful acoustic music on The Highway - at 9pm on WHRV.
