Across the Blue Ridge #71 - A Festival Visit & Blues in Bluegrass

This week we take a moment at Merlefest – not for the main stage acts, but with the community of jammers at festivals.  Beyond that, we hear a fine selection of bluegrass and old time music with a blues tilt.  Hear how the sounds of the blues infuse traditional songs, bluegrass classics, and even gospel music.  Listen to recordings of great musicians including Hobart Smith, Mance Lipscomb, Hazel & Alice and many more.
