Award winning songwriter, and New York Times best selling author Alice Randall and I discuss country music, banjos, and so much more!

Award winning songwriter, author, educator and food activist Alice Randall and I discuss "Coming Through Slaughter" by Michael Ondaatje as well as her book, "My Black Country". We geek out over banjos and the Wootens as well as discussing the differences between jazz and country and what makes country music so great.  Coming Through Slaughter https://www.amazon.com/Coming-Through-Slaughter-Vintage-International-ebook/dp/B004QX06TW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FZNF0YHG8UTF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.iu062M7CL5-6spVZmYiUHb3RKSwZM9Z4sFArjPuHw4ScC03FCC3ETgntrTw4bhID4bvpZDtRKaQSs0qSMlpYochE6ocQTgnsu3aCUfVaYoDZUQq5cRXXXLb2xj30IYd88MM296PDcv6DUZe_1EF4VbNZAWgZ2H5zbHdRGLbSwr2w4A5PPKOCpNlI7ipffvryTYknSrcOuBMyGiUtifZlaqPyWW702AouANWppSuo-Nw.PWwvrefsIi8HHlBZQlABm_RgiLLS8jjiV7QPLhpUsYQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=coming+through+slaughter&qid=1732261962&sprefix=coming+through+slaughter+%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-1 My Black Country:  https://www.amazon.com/My-Black-Country-Journey-Through/dp/B0CLWQ3PKZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1WL7VMY3F3UQ5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NNIZDhCuMJIZKZ67bwaEzzvJkSrEzIV4vr5qFHUwPwlp75vSdkGC-eiWarqZ_x_m02eAN546CmexiFtdedUcY4j-iNSkGjl3k4Zk82IY9EjuQL-k2BeWoF0r6UCy8FMzfCGfy2yvLdtdTNju5D8sWNJ33fcghKUbuAu57m9KPXuRcQ_UjuGKy6b9lp05IF--.O_4uj5QeLAFDhNSfUMDfq05ntDTPUQrE8GSqS7RMQh4&dib_tag=se&keywords=my+black+country+alice+randall&qid=1732262097&sprefix=my+black+country+%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-1
