35 seasons, 35 years of happy music fans. Is there a better show to stumble upon late night? Especially if you can find it in HD. The show has too many highlights to name, so let's just get into the meat and potatoes and look at who is going to be on this godsend of a program.

Some quick notes. 1) Let's all skip Kenny Chesney. 2) Allen Toussaint is going to be great. I will co-sign as I saw him at Bonnaroo. If you don't know him, check him out. He's on a New Orleans funk/soul/r&b kick. 3) Mos Def/K'naan are first hip hop artists to ever appear on the show. What took so long?
