Show 85: USA Blues, Pt. 10: Mississippi to New York

This show ties up loose Mississippi threads and then follows the trail northward into New York. The move matters: it shows how Southern roots music gets recast in urban settings, revival scenes, and new commercial worlds without losing the old stamp entirely.
