Unheralded Musicians of the American South

Listen Tuesday, May. 17, 2005 at 1:37 p.m. in Arts & Culture

Ethnomusicologist Tim Duffy saw the hard life many blues artists and mountain musicians were living, and wanted to help. So he created a foundation -- part recording company, part artist management service, and part social welfare agency. As the Music Maker Foundation turns ten years old, we revisit some of the music.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.

Guests

Tim Duffy

founder and director, Music Maker Relief Foundation
