World Cafe Playlist for 07/31/2025

U.S. Girls joins host Stephen Kallao

Meg Remy performs as U.S. Girls, and she was set to play a show in Arkansas having assembled a lineup featuring some of Nashville’s best players. They had such a good time at the gig that they decided to record an album. Featuring Jack Lawrence and Charlie McCoy, Scratch It was made in just 10 days, recorded live to tape, with minimal overdubbing. Coming up, U.S. Girls joins us for a mini concert to play songs from Scratch It.

Listen to the session here.
