American Routes
American Routes is a weekly two-hour public radio program produced in New Orleans, presenting a broad range of American music — blues and jazz, gospel and soul, old-time country and rockabilly, Cajun and zydeco, Tejano and Latin, roots rock and pop, avant-garde and classical. Now in our 15th year on the air, American Routes explores the shared musical and cultural threads in these American styles and genres of music — and how they are distinguished.
We ponder the routes people travel in life … and music with Washington songmaker Brandi Carlile, and … ex- hobo, circus lady, and now singer Meschiya Lake in New Orleans.. Also music for a climate that suits our clothes… from Woody Guthrie and the Grateful Dead to Pops Staples and Mahalia Jackson.
