USA Blues
Show 77: USA Blues, Pt. 2: California to Florida
This leg widens the road, showing how blues feeling took root in far-flung places and changed shape without losing its backbone. Moving from the West Coast across the South, blues history is not just a Mississippi story but a national spread of local voices.
