Folk Alley Radio Show #230216

This week on Folk Alley, it’s another great show celebrating Black History Month and honoring legendary artists who have influenced so much of our contemporary folk, roots, and Americana music. Hear from Muddy Waters, Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, and Mississippi Fred McDowell; plus Levon Helm, Amythyst Kiah, Corey Harris, Taj Mahal, Precious Bryant, and more.

In hour two, new music from Sunny War, The Burnt Pines, Les SalAmandas, and Fabrizio Poggi; advance singles from the forthcoming spring releases by The Infamous Stringdusters and Cinder Well; plus we say congratulations to the great Bonnie Raitt on her Grammy Awards, and more!
