Sam Bush has been officially certified by his home state of KY as a musical legend - The Father of Newgrass Music - and he won a lifetime achievement award from the Americana Music Association. There's nothing he hasn't achieved or proven in the studio, on the stage or in life. He's beaten cancer twice, and even written a song about it with the late Guy Clark. That and a bunch of other self-revealing songs are on his new album - his first in five years - called Storyman. We'll talk about that and more in the hour ahead. Also on this show, Time Machine Tape from Sam Bush hero and bluegrass founding father Bill Monroe, in conversation in 1973.
