Music and Mayhem...and more Music...

It's way too hot for Woodstock, but this weekend is jam packed with performances that equal or surpass...and in the comfort of your own home. Carole King, one of the great songwriters of the '60s, started playing piano in James Taylor's band, creating a bond that they still share today...along with friends Randy Newman, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens and so many others, they tell the story of singer-songwriters and their place in music.
American Masters: Troubadours tonight at 11pm.

Speaking of songwriters, Lyle Lovett and his friends John Hiatt, Guy Clark and Joe Ely pool their talents for a special episode of AUSTIN CITY LIMITS...Saturday at 10pm
