ListenIn Episode 25 of Tapestry of the Times: we hear the soul-soaked boogie woogie piano of Champion Jack Dupree, we check out some 80-year-old original recordings of Blind Willie Johnson, we sample traditional music from the mountains of Chile, and we explore music forged deep in the coal mines of Appalachia. Real music, real people, and the stories behind the sounds.
