Free & Equal Blues, Our Times, & Some Family Connections

In the wake of the anguish, turmoil, and waves of protest that have followed the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota, this week’s show begins with two sets of songs that seek to offer musical perspective on racial injustice and the struggle for civil rights, justice, and equality over the past 80 years or so. Then we move on to a set of new releases that in one way or another seem right for the times and season, before finishing off with several pieces that showcase strong family connections.
