Red, White and the Blues BMPAudio

1A: Red, White and the Blues

Originally aired on 1A on July 3, 2020.

Red, White, and the Blues is a 1-hour radio special spotlighting blues recordings selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry. These recordings have been chosen for their historic, aesthetic or cultural importance to American society.

On this holiday weekend, we celebrate America’s birthday with music from John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, Memphis Minnie, Jimi Hendrix and others.

And we hear from legends like BB King, Angela Davis, Dan Aykroyd, Maria Muldaur, Vernon Reid and many more.

Tagged as: 1A, Library of Congress, National Recording Registry.
