This piece is important not so much because of the Cowboy Junkies but because this could give rise to a genre of informational programming giving new artists access to an audience otherwise isolated due to the consolidation of commercial radio and it's focus on established artists. This is a very legitimate role for public radio to explore.
As to this piece, it works well enough that I'm planning to buy the Cowboy Junkies' CD. That's high praise indeed.
