Show 89: USA Blues, Pt. 14: Tennessee to Texas

This show sets Tennessee and Texas in conversation, which means two powerful but different strands of blues and roots music sharing the room. One leans toward string-band, country, and urban crossover; the other toward hard guitar lines, open road songsters, and wide Texas reach.
