This week we hear a tremendously varied selection of solid bluegrass music; old time fiddling from field recordings; classic piedmont blues, and new recordings from Kentucky's Brett Ratliff and North Carolina's Bruce Greene. The old English ballad Barbara Allen takes on new life through a capella vocal renditions and blues harmonica from a Kentucky mountaineer! Host Paul Brown will provide you with just the information you need to think about the music, traditions, and the varied cultures of the American south and their intersections.
