Hillbilly Blues
Show 8: The Dust Bowl's Legacy in Blues
This show follows the hard-weather road through drought, migration, and broke-down rural life. It argues that Dust Bowl music is not just a folk story or a country story (the blues is in its hunger, its motion, and its plain speech. Not every track here is structurally a blues) some are folk and country recordings with blues feeling and vocabulary running through them.
