This Week on American Routes:

Red, White and Blues: The Sounds of Patriotic Pluralism

Music and opinion on patriotism as pluralism, and sometimes protest, from guests Merle Haggard and Joan Baez. Plus blues and New Orleans jazz versions of classic freedom songs. Also American anthems from the late King of Bluegrass Jimmy Martin and the Grateful Dead. Then we're off on a summer road trip to sample Ted Drewes' Frozen Custard at his venerable stand on Route 66 in St. Louis, and then play "Drown the Clown" at a Massachusetts county fair. Join us for a star spangled edition of American Routes.

Web hosting by American Studies at Emory University.
Produced at Basin Street Station in collaboration with University of New Orleans' School of Urban Planning and Regional Studies.

Distributed and co-produced by American Public Media.
