Red, White and Blues: The Sounds of Patriotic Pluralism
Music and opinion on patriotism as pluralism, and sometimes protest, from guests Merle Haggard and Joan Baez. Plus blues and New Orleans jazz versions of classic freedom songs. Also American anthems from the late King of Bluegrass Jimmy Martin and the Grateful Dead. Then we're off on a summer road trip to sample Ted Drewes' Frozen Custard at his venerable stand on Route 66 in St. Louis, and the play "Drown the Clown" at a Massachusetts county fair. Join us for a star spangled edition of American Routes.
American Routes can be heard every Saturday at 8 p.m. on WAMU's Bluegrass Country.
