Here's another chance to catch @BBCRadio4’s #BlackRoots as it re-airs today through November 16. Excited to be able to explore the history of African American roots music through the stories of forgotten black pioneers. Photograph by Marriott Canby Morris, (1863-1948)

I wrote a list of covers and coincidences I stumbled across in researching African country for @Bandcamp daily.bandcamp.com/lists/afr…
