The 3-part radio documentary Black Roots that Rhiannon Giddens did for BBC Radio 4 is now available for download at their podcast, The Documentary. Previously, one had to stream it.
Episode 1 looks at black fiddlers, the second at African American influences on bluegrass, and the final one on African American influences on country music.
Some great stuff here.
Giddens also has another show called "Musical Routes" on Apple Music that she did with her significant other and musical partner, Francesco Turrisi. The program looks at the influences on American folks music from outside our borders.
I do not have a subscription to Apple Music and so, sadly, haven't heard it.
