Singer-songwriter Susan Werner has released over 15 albums since her 1993 debut, “Midwestern Saturday Night”. His most recent is last year’s “Flyover Country”, which crosses America and country and features co-writing with John Gorka in the form of the nasal, old-fashioned melody “Wine Bottles”. The Chicago Tribune calls her “one of the most innovative songwriters working today.” Listen to it for yourself Thursday night.
