American Routes for February 12, 2011
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "From Backroads to Backatown: Drive-By Truckers and Trombone Shorty"
Follow American Routes as we travel the back roads for some new Southern sounds. The Drive-By Truckers have been up and down the highways since the mid-90s, delivering their unique mix of social commentary, old-fashioned storytelling and rock 'n' roll, between stops in their hometowns of Muscle Shoals, AL and Athens, GA. We sit down with the band in uptown New Orleans to learn more about their journey in music and fascination with the South. Then we head backatown to catch up with New Orleans own Troy Andrews, a.k.a. Trombone Shorty, to hear about how he mixes trad jazz, rock and hip-hop to create "Superfunkrock"
Produced in New Orleans and distributed by American Public Media.
