The title of this episode, Elk River Blues, comes from a tune crafted by West Virginia fiddler Ernie Carpenter. In this episode, you’ll not only hear the tune, but you’ll hear the song West Coast musician Rachell Anne Goodman created to fit the tune. Rachel was one of the musicians at the Centralia Campout in Centralia, Washington this summer. You’ll also hear from some of the other musicians who were at the Campout. Join host Jonathan Lay for a fresh serving of North American traditional music, its roots, branches and beyond.
