Down The Road

Down The Road

Roots music so often plays on the theme of ‘going home’ and uses metaphor to illustrate the journey.  In past episodes of Deeper Roots, A Century of America’s Music, we’ve explored the music of the railroad and waterways as themes in American roots music. This episode has us focusing on the muse of routes, roads, and highways. We’ll hear from Mose Allison, Chuck Berry, Lowell Fulson, and Hank Williams in a set that follows road trips, functions at the junctions, highway signs, rocky roads, dusty roads, big roads, gospel highways, and bi-ways of the heart.  Don’t miss it! And don’t forget that you can hear past episodes by subscribing to our podcasts here:  http://deeperroots.podomatic.com/

This episode will be posted to Mixcloud in the near future.
