American Routes for September 20, 2008
8:00 PM - 8:15 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Musical Travelers Tales: Shelby Lynne and Michael Hurley"
Conversation with the eclectic song stylist Shelby Lynne --formerly of rural Alabama, now of Palm Springs to hear about the vicissitudes of her musical and emotional journey from country to pop--including a recent embrace of Dusty Springfield. Elusive singer-songwriter Michael Hurley talks about a family devoted to opera and his sometimes dark often humorous disaffected songs about the mysteries of modernity and werewolves. Plus a visit to an Alabama cemetery for revered coondogs. We surround it all with Southern soul, hard country, deep blues, traditional jazz and respect for what is still significantly unknowable and magical in American culture.
Produced in New Orleans and distributed by American Public Media.
