The Blues Alley Podcast – Series One

The history of black music is the history of American music. AEWorks Blues Alley Podcast takes you on a remarkable odyssey of struggle, intrigue, business, crime, & music, all spanning more than a century. But, Blues Alley isn’t your typical blues documentary. Our goal is to tell the stories of blues music, but also to reach into the lives of the people who created it. Explore the places they lived, and the times that inspired the first truly authentic form of American music. Our first series W.C. Handy, the Founding Father of American Music, weaves the tale of the man who first took a rustic music from the Mississippi delta, turned it into an international phenomenon, and made blues music sing for everyone, everywhere. You’ll be amazed.
