Show 64: The Jug Band Blues Tradition
Jug music is homemade music in the best sense: bottles, kazoos, washboards, strings, and a grin that can turn serious in a hurry. This show groups the tracks to show how jug bands carried blues, dance music, medicine-show humor, and street rhythm all at once.
Host Narration
