The master of the Mississippi hill country blues joins Cerys to talk about his music and some of the artists he grew up around, including the slide guitar great Fred McDowell, as well as Ranie Burnette and R.L. Burnside. He's known for his drum work with Jessie Mae Hemphill while his own music very much continues the hypnotic groove of the Mississippi Hill Country tradition.

From cutting edge contemporary sounds to scratchy old vinyl from the past, whether it鈥檚 from Memphis, Mali, or Manchester, no stone is left unturned in the search for the best of the blues.
