Big River of Sound: Music on the Mississippi
The musical and cultural meanderings of the Mississippi River,
from exploration and trade to romance. Jazz, ragtime, and levee
work-songs along with blues, rockabilly, gospel, and country.
Guests include the late Memphis soul man Rufus Thomas and ethnomusicologist David Evans, speaking about influential Delta guitarist Charley Patton. Also, we visit a river barge pilot rolling on the river. |
