USA Blues
Show 87: USA Blues, Pt. 12: North Dakota to Rhode Island
This is one of the oddball geography chapters, and that is exactly why it works. By sweeping across states that do not fit the stock blues map, the show proves the project's bigger point: American roots music runs wider than the usual history-book borders.
