Reviews
- Primo music podcast!
I love podcasts but you have to be selective. There’s only so much time. This is an excellent music podcast. The host unearths gems and interesting connections in early American music. There’s an emphasis on playing the music so feels more like a radio show. Yes, it’s about the blues mostly but it’s really about music broadly, American roots music. Anyone interested will find much to enjoy here! I’m glad found it. Learn by listening! I’m excited to see there are more episodes coming!
